What is New Conceptions and Constructive Methods for Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants about?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) plants are storage energy systems that represents one of the most sustainable, economical, and efficient solutions for energy storage, being an excellent alternative to store energy from intermittent sources such as wind and solar. This paper presents an early application of numerical modelling as a tool to verify new conceptions and constructive methods for PSHs checking the possibilities of using 3D printing. The use of such technology for concrete has gained rapid development in recent years due to the advantages in structural optimization and economy with formwork in conventional construction. Practical engineering applications have proven the applicability of 3D printing in large-scale construction of building components and massive structures, and compared to conventional manufacturing methods, this advanced technique has several advantages and offers almost unlimited potential for geometric complexities. We explore new design conceptions with the help of numerical modelling in two ways: (i) during the early ages considering the phenomena of hydration; (ii) after hardening of concrete verifying the integrity of the structure. The results indica
