What is Pumped Hydroelectric Storage Overview about?
The document summarizes pumped hydroelectric storage. It explains that pumped hydro stores energy by pumping water to an upper reservoir from a lower reservoir, then generating power by releasing the water through turbines. This allows energy to be stored during low demand periods for use during high demand periods. Pumped hydro provides benefits like grid stability, load balancing, and ancillary services. Existing pumped hydro provides around 2% of US capacity but projects could double that capacity.
