Austrian pumped storage power stations supply peak demands

The increasing demand for peaking power has resulted in a greater need for pumped storage power stations. This is particularly so where storage lakes already exist, as pre-construction planning can be avoided and less building is required. In response to this need, Voith Siemens Hydro supplied equipment for the extension of two stations in Austria. However, with each project differing drastically from the other, Voith Siemens Hydro had to access each station individually to determine its independent needs.
