Hydraulic scale modeling has been previously used as a method for mass oscillations assessment for hydropower plants with a single surge tank in Richter et al. (2012) and Svee (1970). In the present work, the method is evaluated and validated for multiple surge tanks using field measurements and a one-dimensional (1D) numerical model.

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation. Low-cost surplus off-peak electric power is typically used to run the …
