Modeling a pumped hydro-storage plant using Python?

This is a school project. We’re being tasked with modeling a pumped hydro-storage plant (similar to a hydroelectric dam) to optimize the energy efficiency and cost. We’ve been given equations for how much energy will leave the system at each component and basically the entire design is up to us (height between reservoirs, angle of pipes, how efficient and costly each component is, etc). I came across the PuLP library online and I’m wondering if this is a good way to help model this problem or if there is a better package/method to use. Thank you!!!!

Why are pumped hydro storage plants not more common? On the surface, they appears to be an obvious solution to the energy storage problem of solar and wind. Is there some sort of technical shortcoming that explains why they aren't more widespread in the US?

The biggest problem with renewables is the inability to store the power, or so I've been told. If pumped hydro plants can do exactly that, store lots and lots of power, why isn't there a huge push to build these facilities in the US? Is there some technical or physical drawback of using them that answers my above question aside from the obvious problem of efficiency loss associated with the process?
