Current pumped storage round-trip or cycle energy efficiencies exceed 80%, comparing favorably to other energy storage technologies and thermal technologies3. This effectively shifts, stores, and reuses energy generated until there is the corresponding demand for system reserves and variable energy integration.
Energy Security: Pumped storage plants contribute to energy security, providing a reliable energy source that can be crucial in times of peak demand or grid instability.
Pumped Storage Plants – Essential for India’s Energy Transition. New Delhi: The Energy and Resources Institute. Pumped Storage Hydropower is a mature and proven technology and operational experience is also available in the country. CEA has estimated the on-river pumped storage hydro potential in India to be about 103 GW.
Indeed, for the foreseeable future hydropower pumped storage stands alone as the only commercially proven technology available for grid- scale energy storage. The last decade has seen tremendous growth of wind and solar generation in response to favorable tax incentives and other policies.
As shown on Figure 1, pumped storage projects store electricity by moving water between an upper and lower reservoir.2Electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an upper elevation.
