The Ludington; Michigan Pumped Storage Project will be the largest facility of its kind in the world. The large man-made reservoir will serve as a 1872 megawatt peaking plant for the production of electrical power. At low demand periods, electrical power supplied from conventional or nuclear plants will pump water from Lake Michigan through large diameter steel penstocks to storage in the reservoir. At peak demand periods, the reservoir water will be released down the penstocks to the powerhouse turbines to produce electricity. The production parameters and assembly of the project are described. The penstocks are buried. (MCW)
