Resumo: Environmental concerns and the increase of fossil fuel prices have influenced the development and expansion of renewable energy for electricity generation in Brazil and the world. Many of these technologies produce energy from unpredictable renewable sources, and this affects the operation of the electricity distribution grid, because the generation must match the demand at all times. The storage of surplus energy for using it during peak load periods can contribute to balance the load and regulate the frequency. Pumped storage hydropower plants, also known as pumped water storage or reversible hydropower is the most established technology for large scale electricity storage. This paper presents a literature review on electricity storage through pumped storage hydropower plants, and the application of this technology in the global and Brazilian scenarios. This document briefly presents and compares the available options for electricity storage, and it also describes the operating principles, environmental impacts, application, opportunities and challenges associated with reversible hydropower in the world. Finally, the development and perspectives of this technology in the Brazilian scenario are discussed.

Muitas destas tecnologias estão associadas à imprevisibilidade dos recursos utilizados para gerar energia, o que afeta a operação das redes de distribuição de eletricidade, nas quais a geração deve coincidir com a demanda constantemente. O armazenamento da energia excedente, para seu uso durante os picos de consumo, pode contribuir para equilibrar a carga e regular a frequência. As usinas hidrelétricas reversíveis, também conhecidas como de armazenamento por bombeamento de água ou acumulação hidráulica, é a principal tecnologia utilizada no mundo para propósitos de armazenamento de energia elétrica em grande escala. O presente artigo apresenta uma revisão da literatura sobre o armazenamento de energia elétrica através de usinas hidrelétricas reversíveis, e o estado desta tecnologia no cenário global e brasileiro. No documento, se apresentam e comparam brevemente as opções disponíveis para armazenamento de energia elétrica, e também se descrevem as generalidades, operação, impactos ambientais, aplicação, oportunidades e desafios associados às usinas reversíveis no mundo. Finalmente, são discutidas a história e perspectivas desta tecnologia no cenário brasileiro.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2015-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/1600210.5902/2236117016002Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 19, N. 2, MAY-AUG., 2015; 1230-1249Revista Eletrônica em Gestão, Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental; REGET, V. 19, N. 2, MAIO-AGO., 2015; 1230-12492236-11702236-1170reponame:Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/article/view/16002/pdfhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCanales, Fausto AlfredoBeluco, AlexandreMendes, Carlos André Bulhões2022-09-12T18:44:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/16002Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/regetPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/reget/oaimarcelobdarosa@gmail.com||reget.ufsm@gmail.com2236-11702236-1170opendoar:2022-09-12T18:44:21Revista Eletrônica em Gestão Educação e Tecnologia Ambiental (REGET) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
