ATLANTIS - An interdisciplinary feasibility study on hybrid pumped-hydro power storage of excess energy in open-pit coal mines


The focus of the overall project is to assess the technical and economic feasibility of transforming open-pit coal mines into hybrid energy storage projects. The possible utilization of abandoned coal mines into hybrid pumped-hydro power storage (HPHS) sites could add stability to the former coal regions and contribute to EU energy security. The investigations are focused on two study areas in Europe; one within the lignite deposits of western Macedonia in Greek, and another within lignite deposits in the southern part of the Lodz basin in Poland.
