Sotto questo brutto neologismo - bacino di demodulazione – una novità si affaccia sulla scena idroelettrica ticinese: fino ad un paio di anni fa non si parlava ancora, salvo rare eccezioni, di questi costosi ma utili bacini che hanno lo scopo di mitigare le improvvise variazioni dei deflussi dovute ai rilasci delle acque turbinate.

regulating tank—a tank constructed for the purpose of regulating system hydraulics within an acceptable range over a particular reach of the transmission facilities. A regulating tank absorbs pressure fluctuations and temporary mismatches between downstream demands and upstream water supplies to maintain a balanced operation.
