Pumped-storage hydroelectricity
OverviewTypesBasic principleEconomic efficiencyLocation requirementsEnvironmental impactPotential technologiesHistory
In closed-loop systems, pure pumped-storage plants store water in an upper reservoir with no natural inflows, while pump-back plants utilize a combination of pumped storage and conventional hydroelectric plants with an upper reservoir that is replenished in part by natural inflows from a stream or river. Plants that do not use pumped storage are referred to as conventional hydroelectric plants; conventional hydroelectric plants that have significant storage capacity ma
DOE ESHB Chapter 9: Pumped Hydroelectric Storage
