#HydrolinkMagazine

Hydrolink is the primary magazine of the IAHR community and one of the highest-rated member benefits. It brings you the latest developments in the field of hydro-environment engineering and research through articles on projects, research, and new methods and tools of interest to the community. It also provides a platform for reporting on IAHR Conferences and news from our members, and offers a forum for exchanging information and spreading the word on topics and projects relevant to the community.

  • The online version of Hydrolink is open to non-members since 2021 as part of the efforts of the association to disseminate and share knowledge. In addition to the online version, IAHR members will continue to receive their full colour printed copy at their desks periodically as a membership benefit.

Hydrolink 2, 2025 | Pumped Storage

Hydrolink_2025_02_Pumped_Storage_Cover (1).jpg

Pumped storage hydropower has grown rapidly over the last fifty years, first to store energy produced by thermal and nuclear stations during off-peak hours when demand is low, and since the turn of the century to deal with the intermittency of wind and solar power generation. By 2023 the global installed capacity of pumped storage projects had reached 179 GW, 28.4% of which was in China, 15.3% in Japan and 12.4% in the United States. The International Hydropower Association (IHA) estimates that pumped storage accounts for over 94% of the world’s long duration energy storage capacity. Despite progress in the development of battery technology for large-scale energy storage and research in alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, such as sodium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and solid-state batteries, it is unlikely that any of these technologies will be cost-competitive with pump storage hydro in the near future.

About the Editor

10506_517551.jpg

Angelos Findikakis received his first degree in Civil Engineering in 1968 from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. After working on water resources planning and development studies in Greece he came to Stanford for graduate studies in 1973. Since 1980 he has been working for Bechtel Corporation in San Francisco. Over the years he worked on a broad range of water studies in support of the permitting, design and construction of several industrial projects including civil infrastructure, power, mining, oil and gas, and waste storage facilities. As a Bechtel Fellow since 1998 he advises senior management on questions related to his expertise, participates in strategic planning, and helps disseminate new technical ideas and findings throughout the organization.
