OverviewBasic principleTypesEconomic efficiencyLocation requirementsEnvironmental impactPotential technologiesHistory

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. Low-cost surplus off-peak electric power is typically used t

Pumped Storage Hydropower Supply Curves

NREL has developed an interactive map and geospatial data showing pumped storage hydropower (PSH) supply curves, which characterize the quantity, quality, and cost of PSH resources. Sites can be fully closed-loop, or they can use existing reservoirs along river systems. Supply curves are available for 8-, 10, and 12-hour storage durations, dam

Pumped Storage Hydropower

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) will play an increasingly important role in the clean energy transition: •supporting wind and solar growth by compensating for their variability and firming their output power; •providing large energy storage capacity to reduce curtailments; •providing inertia and other ancillary services to

Global resource potential of seasonal pumped hydropower

Seasonal pumped hydropower storage (SPHS) can provide long-term energy storage at a relatively low-cost and co-benefits in the form of freshwater storage capacity.

How giant ''water batteries'' could make green power reliable

The Nant de Drance pumped storage hydropower plant in Switzerland can store surplus energy from wind, solar, and other clean sources by pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper one, 425 meters higher. When electricity runs short, the water can be unleashed though turbines, generating up to 900 megawatts of electricity for 20 hours.
