Electric-power companies use water to store energy


Some electric-power companies use water to store energy. Water is pumped by reversible turbine pumps from a low to a high reservoir. To store the energy produced in 1.5 hour by a 120 MW electric-power plant, how many cubic meters of water will have to be pumped from the lower to the upper reservoir? Assume the upper reservoir is 470 m above the lower and we can neglect the small change in depths within each. Water has a mass of 1000 kg for every 1.0{m}^3.
