The vertically integrated power sector structure has provided a stable and predictable business environment that is favorable to investments in PHES. The path of PHES development in Japan is the epitome of PHES development worldwide. Before the early 1960s, PHES facilities were rare and small, mostly of hybrid design. Deployment started to accelerate in the 1960s and continued throughout the 1990s. Since the 1970s, pure/off-stream PHES has become the dominant design, which is likely a result of increased concerns for the ecological impacts of hybrid systems.
We can illustrate this with a 3 GW GBES design (matching the current highest power PHES plant). 5 km2 area) and operating pressure of 8 MPa (80 bar) delivers a convenient 1 GW h for every 1 m of travel [6]. 2) requires 30 m vertical travel. Energy capacity could be doubled at negligible cost by extending the vertical cylinder wall section to allow 60 m travel. There is a limit to the height that the piston can be raised (one reason being that the operating pressure at the power plant increases slowly as the piston rises above the surface).
The buildup of PHES capacities in Japan has been relatively steady over several decades. The Japanese power sector is mainly composed of vertically integrated regional electric power utilities, which build, own, and operate the PHES facilities. The vertically integrated power sector structure has provided a stable and predictable business environment that is favorable to investments in PHES. The path of PHES development in Japan is the epitome of PHES development worldwide. Before the early 1960s, PHES facilities were rare and small, mostly of hybrid design.
