Hydropower from the UAE desert: To achieve the ambitious target of increasing the clean energy share of the generation mix to 25 % by 2030, and 75 % by 2050 the Dubai Energy and Water Authority (DEWA) decided to increase the power generation contribution from sources like photovoltaic solar and wind. But in addition, to also create the necessary energy storage capacity required to balance these volatile renewable energy sources. Further investigation determined that in regions with hot ambient conditions, pumped storage technology is superior to battery technology.
Near the community of Hatta, approximately 140 km southeast of Dubai, there is an existing reservoir created by the Hatta Dam. DEWA developed a concept to create a new upper reservoir at a distance of 1.3 km and 150 m higher than the existing lower reservoir. A 1,300 m long tunnel with some 7 m in diameter will connect the two reservoirs.
For this challenging and unique project on the Arabian Peninsula, the Austrian hydropower specialist ANDRITZ will install two pump turbines with double-fed generators, the main power transformers and electrical auxiliary equipment.
