Chapter 8.8, Problem 14P
One method of meeting the extra electric power demand at peak periods is to pump some water from a large body of water (such as a lake) to a reservoir at a higher elevation at times of low demand and to generate electricity at times of high demand by letting this water run down and rotate a turbine (i.e., convert the electric energy to potential energy and then back to electric energy). For an energy storage capacity of 5 × 106 kWh, determine the minimum amount of water that needs to be stored at an average elevation (relative to the ground level) of 75 m.
