Customer ServicePumped storage hydropower is a modified use of conventional hydropower technology to store and manage energy or electricity1. As shown on Figure 1, pumped storage projects store electricity by moving water between an upper and lower reservoir.2 Electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an upper elevation.
SPHS plants are advisable in rivers that have seasonal flow variations and the needs for energy storage are complementary with the needs to regulate the flow of the river. The reference of the model used to develop the seasonal pumped hydro storage projects is show below.
Below are some of the paper's key messages and findings. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH), 'the world’s water battery’, accounts for over 94% of installed global energy storage capacity, and retains several advantages such as lifetime cost, levels of sustainability and scale.
Developing additional hydropower pumped storage, particularly in areas with recently increased wind and solar capacity, would significantly improve grid reliability while reducing the need for construction of additional fossil-fueled generation. Pumped storage hydropower has a long history of successful development in the U.S. and around the world.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) currently accounts for over 90% of storage capacity and stored energy in grid scale applications globally. The current storage volume of PSH stations is at least 9,000 GWh, whereas batteries amount to just 7-8 GWh.
Fortunately, a technology exists that has been providing grid-scale energy storage at highly affordable prices for decades: hydropower pumped storage. Indeed, for the foreseeable future hydropower pumped storage stands alone as the only commercially proven technology available for grid-scale energy storage.
