Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
Pumped hydropower storage (PHS), also called pumped hydroelectricity storage, stores electricity in the form of water head for electricity supply/demand balancing. For pumping water to a reservoir at a higher level, low-cost off-peak electricity or renewable plants’ production is used.
Pumped storage hydropower plants play a key role in the future of energy, contributing to grid stabilization, renewable energy storage and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. Together with BESS systems, renewable energy storage in pumped storage power plants will be a strategic ally for a resilient, secure and sustainable energy system.
Pumped storage hydropower plants (PSH) are designed to lift water to a reservoir at higher elevation when the electricity demand is low or when prices are low, and turbine water to produce electricity when the demand is high and/or prices are high.
Finally, it discusses the future of PHS technology, some remaining gaps in the field and potential research topics in this area. Pumped hydropower storage (PHS), also called pumped hydroelectricity storage, stores electricity in the form of water head for electricity supply/demand balancing.
Concluding remarks An extensive review of pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) systems is conducted, focusing on the existing technologies, practices, operation and maintenance, pros and cons, environmental aspects, and economics of using PHES systems to store energy produced by wind and solar photovoltaic power plants.
