As part of Work Package 1, TU Wien has mapped and categorised hydropower plants across Europe that could be converted to reversible pump turbines. It identifies potential sites and evaluates the necessary adjustments based on criteria such as water volumes, turbine types, and geographical factors. The developed categorisation system helps prioritise investments and optimise sustainable energy infrastructure.
We are happy to announce that this hydro-mapping work has now been featured in the European Commission's BRIDGE magazine. You can read the article here.
TU Wien has completed the full report (Deliverable 1.1) on this activity and is now available from our website here. Please notes this report is still subject to the approval of the European Commission, so is in draft format at present.
