1 What is Energy Recapture and How does it Work 11720085 Lixin Quan

2 active during the daytime inactive at night consumers of electricity Quantity demanded Energy Recapture is system that Energy Recapture is system that allows energy to be stored when electricity is plentiful and released for generation in times of high grid demand. Pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant Compressed air energy storage What is Energy Recapture The power made in night Use Waste

3 How does Pumped Storage Work Pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant approximately 70% to 85% of the electrical energy used to pump the water into the elevated reservoir can be regained Low-cost off-peak (at night) electric power is used to run the pumps. During periods of high electrical demand, (at noon) the stored water is released through turbines to produce electric power. turbines
