Hi Murray,
My organization is involved with developing community-own micro hydropower
sites in remote parts if West-Central Africa. We have encountered several cases
of very high flows in the rainy seasons and very low or even absent flows in
the dry seasons.
Yours is a very bright idea and there are several advantages to it. In fact I
have a similar concept as means to compensate for the great reduction in stream
flow during the dry season in Africa. Wind is unpredictable and comes when it
may not be needed thus requiring a storage of the current generated. Wind
Pumped Storage (WPS)- my designation- is versatile since the electricity as
alternating current (which can be transformed and sent to far away users) is
generated only when needed
Now that someone else has also thought about it, I will start working on it.
I will appeal to members to help us with their ideas and possible existing
solutions or plans.
