[PDF Version]According to Table 5, it was observed that the average daily electrical energy consumed to charge the water tower based energy storage system is equal to 3.78 (MWh). The amount of electrical energy generated in the discharge stage is calculated using Eq. (53) as 2.415 (MWh).
In order to design the water tower required for energy storage, in the first case, the height of the tower tank is considered to be 5 (m). As a result, according to Eq.

It should be noted that the larger the volume of the tower tank and the height of the tower, the higher the energy storage capacity of the water tower will be. In the discharge stage of the energy storage system, water is released from the tower tank and electric energy is generated by passing through the water turbine.
