The need for energy storage is growing in response to the continued development of renewable energy sources (e.g., wind and solar power). Although battery storage can provide energy on a small scale, the only large-scale proven technology for energy storage is pumped-storage hydropower.
The key advantage of pumped storage is its ability to provide storage durations much longer than currently possible with batteries. It’s a proven technology with a very long lifespan and low operational costs, and is cost-effective at storing and releasing large amounts of energy.
Pumped storage provides more capacity for a hydropower system to store short term energy surpluses from other renewable sources allowing greater capture of this clean energy. What are the main advantages of pumped storage compared to other energy storage technologies?
As shown on Figure 1, pumped storage projects store electricity by moving water between an upper and lower reservoir.2Electric energy is converted to potential energy and stored in the form of water at an upper elevation.
Pumped storage assets can provide all of these important contributions to a stable and successful power system, levelling out the fluctuations in availability of wind and solar energy, and helping to regulate voltage and frequency.
In terms of grid support, pumped storage is based on well-established synchronous generation, providing critical ancillary services to the grid, through the provision of inertia, frequency and voltage support and sufficient fault level support.
Pumped storage plants are technically suited to all existing energy markets. They balance power generation and consumption in the electricity system, provide system services and reserve capacity, are capable of black start, contribute to redispatch, and supply instantaneous reserve. Pumped hydroelectric storage is a fully mature technology.
