First of all, I'm a brand new member of this community so I haven't had much time to go through it but from the threads and posts I quickly read I've got the feeling I found the right place where to posts and share.
Here my question/situation:
We have got to replace 910 kVA genset plant installed on a Island down south Malesia/Borneo with a stand alone solar plant. Normally we'd propose batteries but this time I decided not go with battery energy storage instead to use the exceeding electricity produced by the solar plant for pumping up sea water into an artificial basin and then starting to release the water at dusk in order to produce electricity thank to a turbine.
Is my idea out of mind? The scope of it would be going 100 % green, avoiding cheap acid-lead batteries (difficult recycling). What are you opinions?
