    摘要: Hydroelectric power generation systems and methods of using such systems are provided. A power generation system includes a reservoir that is at least partially defined by a plurality of precast segments. At least a subset of the precast segments are interconnected via complementary coupling elements. The reservoir is elevated with respect to a fluid supply. The system further includes a flow path providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the fluid supply, a power generation module configured to pump fluid from the fluid supply and into the reservoir via the flow path, and a power conversion module configured to convert kinetic energy of fluid released from the reservoir and travelling through the flow path into electric energy.
