Most installed projects include river power plants on canals and rivers at the southern plains, plus storage-based high-head power plants on hilly water channels in the north [6, 36, 37]. Therefore, installing more hydropower projects will be valuable to produce sustainable energy to support the World''s fight against environmental pollution [ 38 ].
Hydroelectric power is a form of renewable energy in which electricity is produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of moving water into mechanical energy. Hydroelectric power plants usually are located in dams that impound rivers, though tidal action is used in some coastal areas.

Pumped storage power stations are increasingly constructed around cities to provide electric power and ensure grid stability. However, the upper reservoirs are typically located on mountaintops, and the reservoir leakage, which directly affects the economic benefits, is typically difficult to estimate. Therefore, to calculate the leakage
1. Introduction. Pumped storage power station (PSPS) is a renewable and sustainable energy source. It not only has a flexibility and storage capacity to support the deployment of wind and solar energy, but also helps to ensure the safe and steady operation of power grid [1], [2], [3].With the popularity of renewable energy and

The conventional hydroelectric power station has four Francis turbine generators, with a combined generating capacity of 286.4 megawatts (384,100 hp) and a net generation of 787 gigawatt-hours (2,830 TJ) per annum. The power station was completed in 1962, and has 262.1 metres (860 ft) rated head. Water flows through the turbines at the rate of
"Hydro power" generates power by utilizing the energy of water falling from a higher position to a lower position. One of these hydro power generation systems is a "pumped-storage system", which pumps up water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir during off-peak hours and generates power by dropping water from the higher reservoir to the

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other
However, the construction of pumped storage power stations (PSPS) is limited by topography, land availability [8] and high capital costs [9] and has negative impacts on the surrounding landscape, environment, and nearby residents [10]. Therefore, before the construction of PSPS, the location issue is of utmost concern.
Pico Hydro. From a few hundred watts up to 5 kW. A micro hydro power (MHP)''plant'' is a type of hydro electric power scheme that produces up to 100 KW of electricity using a flowing steam or a water flow.
