Pumped Storage Technical Guidance. This document provides criteria for Pumped Storage Hydro-Electric project owners to assess their facilities and programs against.
Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store energy and generate electricity. Generally, when electricity demand is low (e.g., at night), excess electric generation capacity is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir.
Proper site selection is the most critical component of developing a successful pumped-storage project. A “closed-loop” project that cycles water back and forth between two man-made reservoirs has a much better chance of approval than a project that uses a natural waterbody (i.e., river or lake) for one or both of the reservoirs.

2. C. Each Pumped Storage project should have a design change/ configuration control program. This program should ensure the design basis of the plant is controlled and maintained through procedures and processes that assure unauthorized changes are not made to equipment important to safety.
The January 13, 2006 FERC letter or more current FERC guidance should be considered by the licensee when determining the staffing of a pumped storage project. Un-staffed operation should only be considered when robust fail safe systems, procedures and processes are in place to support unattended operation.
Since some pumped-storage projects are remotely operated it is also important to have a training program for plant personnel so they are able to operate the plant in an emergency or loss of the computer system in the event communication is lost with hydro dispatch. There should be training established for the instrumentation and monitoring program.

The Battery Chemicals Complex will produce high purity chemicals containing lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and other metals and cathode active materials used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
Lithium is a key component in the batteries of electric cars, laptops, and smartphones. File RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has successfully extracted lithium from brine samples from Aramco's oilfields and plans to launch a commercial pilot program for direct extraction soon, the Saudi vice minister of mining affairs said on Tuesday.
At the Real Estate Future Forum in Riyadh on Jan. 28, Khaled Elsehamy, chief development officer for real estate at the National Housing Co., highlighted the significant shift in the Kingdom's real estate sector. According to Elsehamy, more people are now viewing suburban areas as attractive living options.
Saudi Tourism Minister Ahmed Al-Khateeb noted the rapid expansion of the Kingdom's hospitality industry, with hotel room capacity expected to grow from 475,000 to 675,000 by 2030.
The vice minister said that while the cost of extracting lithium from the brine runoffs from oil fields remained higher than the traditional method of extraction from salt flats, but added he expected that if lithium prices grew the project would soon be commercially viable.

Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have emerged as a highly promising post-lithium battery systems owing to their high safety, the abundant Magnesium (Mg) resources, and superior energy density. Nevertheless, the sluggish kinetics has severely limited the performance of RMBs.
Magnesium batteries have been talked up quite a bit since the early 2000s. They dropped off the CleanTechnica radar about five years ago, but some key advances are beginning to crop up, and now would be a good time to catch up (see our magnesium archive here).
“The theoretical energy density [of magnesium batteries] is at least comparable to lithium-ion batteries, and there is the potential to realize a higher energy density than lithium because there are double the electrons for every individual magnesium ion, compared to lithium,” he said.
This strategy provides insights into accelerating Mg-ion storage kinetics, achieving a promising performance of RMBs especially at high specific current. Rechargeable magnesium batteries offer safety, abundance, and high energy density but are limited by sluggish kinetics.
To prevent passivation at the Mg anode, most rechargeable Mg-ion battery studies use nonaqueous liquid electrolytes composed of complex salts and organic solvents (8 – 12). However, the poor conductivity of organic Mg-ion electrolytes restricts their diffusion kinetics and requires high temperature to maintain battery performance (13).
