|
water-storage | plant producing electricity with turbines fed by water coming from a lake behind a dam. Note: Power plants in Switzerland must have a storage capacity of at least 25% of the average expected winter production, otherwise they are =run-of-the-river plants.
|
| water-pumped-storage | plant producing electricity like =water-storage and additionaly able to pump water from a lower lake to the storage lake when needed.
| |
| run-of-the-river | plant producing electricity with turbine using stream of a river (with no storage dam) Note: Power plants in Switzerland having storage dams with a capacity less than 25% of the average expected winter production are =run-of-the-river plants.
