Pumped-storage schemes currently provide the most commercially important means of large-scale grid energy storage and improve the daily capacity factor of the generation system. The relatively low energy density of PHES systems requires either a very large body of water or a large variation in height.
Pumped storage plants provide a means of reducing the peak-to-valley difference and increasing the deployment of wind power, solar photovoltaic energy and other clean energy generation into the grid .
In Sweden, hydropower is a major source of the RE in the energy system, in which the reservoir type power plant can regulate the production based on the fluctuations in the demand. It constitutes around 40% of the total electricity supplied over the years .
In a pumped storage hydropower plant, the water can also be pumped back to the upper reservoir when there is an excess of energy. Step 1: Surplus energy in the power grid is used to pump the water and filling up the reservoir.
Pumped Hydro Storage was started by enthusiasts with a background from renewables, and with a strong desire to make a difference in the energy transition. The World’s Most Sustainable Balancing Power Enabling a Fossil-Free Generation Pumped Hydro’s and SENS team has an extensive experience of renewable energy development and planning
