RE goals (20% by 2020) require interconnections, energy storage, flexible generation and demand-side management. • Pumped hydropower storage (PHS) is the only storage that can contribute significantly to the 2020 goals. • There were no other previous studies assessing the European PHS potential. Background
ASSETS assessment of the European PHS potential. Define a GIS-based methodology (2011) Validate it with industry and academia (workshop April 2012) JRC Improvements Application to assess the European potential Objective
How the model works Sites in 5-km scenario Sites with largest energy storage potential
How the model works Best sites within 5 km
Contains: Complete assessment of potential sites, for both T1 and T2 With results for 31 European countries from an improved model Support to decision making Results
