It is our pleasure to introduce the second Newsletter of the #ALPHEUS research project to you. #H2020

It presents the recent research results and gives you an insight view from the design of the turbines to the dam design and the discussion on finding suitable sites.

Work Package 2 has the aim to develop propeller type and positive displacement runners and casings that operate efficiently in both pump and turbine modes with application of laboratory and numerical methods.

7 work packages have been created for the #ALPHEUS project - a tangible work-plan to achieve the project objectives and suggested concept.

Each work package break down the different tasks, deliverables, and milestones of the project.

The Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) is used for this purpose in mountainous regions such as Norway and the Alps, but low countries do not have the natural topography needed for PHS.

This is why the #ALPHEUS project has been created.

Renewable energy is essential for our global efforts to decarbonize and slow the rate of global warming.

The consumption of energy by industries and individuals often does not coincide in time with the generation of energy by the win or sun.

Energy storage is then needed.

ALPHEUS project team members are working hard, even during the summer period!

Jonathan Fahlbeck, PhD student, and Prof. Håkan Nilsson were at the IAHR 2022 - 31st Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Systems.

The implementation of large civil structures can face opposition from the public.

#ALPHEUS developed a stakeholder questionnaire to gather general stakeholder concerns respecting the low-head PHS technology.

Experiments were run in both turbine and pump mode, the latter at two different rotational speeds.

The details on global parameters for the cases are seen in Table 1.
