Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) has been in use for more than a century to assist with load balancing in the electricity industry. PHES entails pumping water from a lower reservoir to a nearby upper reservoir when there is spare power generation capacity (for example, on windy and sunny days) and allowing the water to return to the lower ...
However, up to now pumped hydropower energy storages (PHES) can achieve the highest power rating as it can reach up to 5 GW. In contrast, the two closest competing technologies, thermal energy storage and compressed air storage can only reach one tenth of this rating [5]. PHES is the most cost efficient technology per storage cycle [6].
