Exploitation Solution of the Wind Potential in the Danube Gorge

Abstract

This paper proposes a solution to exploit the wind potential of the Danube cluster by storing it in the Iron Gates I reservoir lake, through pumping the water downstream of the hydroelectric power plant. Storing energy by pumping water, i.e. turning the plant into a pumped storage hydroelectric plant, will chancel the unstable character of wind energy, also achieving peak load coverage under conditions of investment much be-lower to those of building a hydroelectric power plant with accumulation by pumping the Danube.
