Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) provides the largest form of energy storage in power grids, with 179 GW installed globally as of 2023.
The Department of Energy''s "Pumped Storage Hydropower" video explains how pumped storage works. The first known use cases of PSH were found in Italy and Switzerland in the 1890s, and
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
While flashy battery tech grabs headlines, there''s a quiet workhorse ensuring your energy storage systems don''t literally melt down. Meet the energy storage water pump - the

Discover how hydraulic pumping uses water to store potential energy and ensure a stable electricity supply in renewable systems.
With higher needs for storage and grid support services, Pumped Hydro Storage is the natural large-scale energy storage solution. It provides all services from reactive power support to
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
With closed-loop PSH, reservoirs are not connected to an outside body of water. Open-loop pumped storage hydropower systems connect a reservoir to a naturally flowing water feature via a tunnel, using a turbine/pump and generator/motor to move water and create electricity.
Hydropower can play a defining role in the energy transition thanks to the balancing and system services to the grid that facilitate the integration of variable renewables. With higher needs for storage and grid support services, Pumped Hydro Storage is the natural large-scale energy storage solution.
Pumped storage facilities are built to push water from a lower reservoir uphill to an elevated reservoir during times of surplus electricity. 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”.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grid reliability and stability. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn’t blowing, and the sun isn’t shining.
