Have any of you ever thought about making a mini pumped-storage power plant powered by, for example, a windmill/windmills? I wonder what the cost would be? Let's assume that the household consumes about 500 kWh per month. We would like to store 100kWh to have a supply for 6 windless days. Less than 2000m3 would be enough, i.e. a tank of 20m x 20m x 5m and a difference in levels of 20 meters. I think that if you have a plot with a difference in levels, it is feasible. Of course, purely theorizing, I am unable to calculate the costs of building such reservoirs, turbines, etc. If something like this could be built, it would be practically 100% independent of state energy.
What do you think about it? Is it real somehow?
