Abstract
The Seneca pumped storage plant has been in commercial service since January 14, 1970. Synchronous starting of large reversible generator/motors by means of a small generator has proved to be highly reliable and the overall efficiency of the station ranges from 71 to 79 percent. Design modifications made since start-up are described.
