Pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) is the most widely used electrical energy storage technology in the world today. It can offer a wide range of services to the modern-day power grid, especially assisting the large-scale integration of variable energy resources.
The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge). PSH acts similarly to a giant battery, because it can store power and then release it when needed. The Department of Energy's "Pumped Storage Hydropower" video explains how pumped storage works.
The system utilizes a photovoltaic panel as the main energy source and a battery pack as the energy storage device to smooth the fluctuation of solar power and to mitigate load transients and variations. In addition, a hydro storage system is used for water storage and also for supplying extra electric power via a hydro-turbine generator.
This approach allows for a better understanding of the impact of major projects expansion.
