Pumped storage is the largest-capacity form of grid energy storage available and as of March 2012. As reported by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) PHES accounts for more than 99% of bulk storage capacity worldwide, representing around 127 GW . The global PHES capacities of different countries are summarized in Table 1 .
Brayton PTES systems In 2010, Desrues et al. were the first to present an investigation on a pumped thermal energy storage system for large scale electric applications based on Brayton cycle. The system works as a high temperature heat pump cycle during charging phase.
Around the world, PHES size mostly nestles in the range of 1000–1500 MW, being as large as 2000–3000 MW. On the other hand, photovoltaic based pumped storage systems have been used for very small scale (load of few houses) only. 1. Introduction
