Value of pumped hydro storage in a hybrid energy
To mitigate the volatility of supply and demand, we use reservoirs as water sto-" rage in a pumped hydro storage system (PHES). In our setting, excess " solar energy can be used to pump water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir, where it is stored in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Pump Up the Storage | Do the Math
The idea for pumped hydro storage is that we can pump a mass of water up into a reservoir (shelf), and later retrieve this energy at will—barring evaporative loss. Pumps and turbines (often implemented as the same physical unit, actually) can be something like 90% efficient, so the round-trip storage comes at only modest cost.
