Pumped-storage hydroelectricity
OverviewBasic principleTypesEconomic efficiencyLocation requirementsEnvironmental impactPotential technologiesHistory
A pumped-storage hydroelectricity generally consists of two water reservoirs at different heights, connected with each other. At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the upper reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. Pumped storage plants usually use re
Pumped Storage Hydropower
Closed-loop pumped storage hydropower systems connect two reservoirs without flowing water features via a tunnel, using a turbine/pump and generator/motor to move water and create
Pumped Storage Projects
Pumped storage projects move water between two reservoirs located at different elevations (i.e., an upper and lower reservoir) to store

Pumped hydro systems could help solve the challenge of renewable energy
When solar and wind energy are plentiful, that power can be used to pump water from the lower to the upper reservoir. Cohen: “And then when you really need the electricity,
Pumped Storage
In pumping mode, electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an upper elevation, which is why it is sometimes called a “water battery”.
Hydraulic pumping: water as a potential energy storehouse
Discover how hydraulic pumping uses water to store potential energy and ensure a stable electricity supply in renewable systems.
