Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Power Station Location in Tenerife Island   M.Martínez, J.Romero, A.Pulido F.Deniz and J.C.Quintana   2017/04/25

Abstract

The best site for a pumped storage hydroelectric power station in the Tenerife island has been find, to be later sized and simulated in the software Homer, in order to be able to observe its effect on the insular electrical system, allowing the inclusion of more renewable generation.
