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.
A dynamic energy storage solution, pumped storage hydro has helped ‘balance’ the electricity grid for more than five decades to match our fluctuating demand for energy. Pumped storage hydro (PSH) involves two reservoirs at different elevations.
