Annotation The authors propose building a pumped storage complex between the northern and southern basins of the Dead Sea, including a pumped storage power plant (PSPP), an upper basin and a turbine conduit.

Purpose of the proposal

The technical significance of the proposed complex. The turbines of the pumped storage power plant use the water from the upper pool, and the generators deliver electricity to the power grid at the optimal time. Power equalization of Thermal Power Plants (TPP) will significantly increase their reliability. About 80% of repair and emergency stops of the thermal power plants are caused by rapid changes during operating mode.

he economic significance. The hydroaccumulation complex uses cheap electricity in pumping mode, and in generator mode it returns energy when its cost is noticeably higher.
