Pumped Hydro Storage is a type of energy storage that uses two water reservoirs at different elevations to store and generate electricity by moving water between them. This method is highly efficient and capable of providing large-scale energy storage, making it a critical component in balancing supply and demand in renewable energy systems.

Pumped Hydro Storage

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time, enabling a balance between energy supply and demand. It plays a critical role in integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, enhancing energy security, and improving the efficiency and reliability of energy systems.
