Abstract:
Hydropower has already proven to be a highly efficient means of electricity generation. One of the
main challenges we face today is ensuring its stable and sustainable supply to meet the increasing
demand. To address this, harnessing pumped water from tanks and converting it into energy has
been proposed. Three solutions have been suggested: utilizing tank water, utilizing tank water
upon completion of all planned tanks, and utilizing tank water with pump feed powered by solar
energy. These solutions were simulated using the PSAT toolbox, and it was found that the second
solution is the optimal one in terms of return on investment. Integrated hydropower systems
provide significant gains in energy from small and diverse water sources. With significant growth
potential, it is an important option for grid efficiency and reliability
