By integrating with solar systems pumped-hydro storage converts renewable electrical energy (solar) into mechanical energy and vice versa. The solar energy received by pumped hydro system is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper one to be release during peak load hours (Canales et al., 2015).
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
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.
1. The Pumped Storage System and Its Constituent Elements Pumped storage hydro is a mature energy storage method. It uses the characteristics of the gravitational potential energy of water for easy energy storage, with a large energy storage scale, fast adjustment speed, flexible operation and high efficiency .
It is the oldest storage approach for bulk energy reservation and has been in used for more than a century. It is believed that the very first type of pumped hydro storage system started to operate at Schaffhausen, Switzerland, around 1909, producing approximately 1 MW of power (Ekoh et al., 2016).
Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) is a well-established technology for energy storage in hybrid systems. Ref reviewed the integration of PHS with solar and wind power generation systems. They highlighted the flexibility, response time, and performance improvements achieved by using reversible pump-turbine machines in PHS.
