US Hydropower Energy Storage Project

4 FAQs about [US Hydropower Energy Storage Project]

Why is pumped storage hydropower important?

As the global community accelerates its transition toward renewable energy, the importance of reliable energy storage becomes increasingly evident. Among the various technologies available, pumped storage hydropower (PSH) stands out as a cornerstone solution, ensuring grid stability and sustainability.

What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).

How do pumped storage hydropower plants store energy?

Like a giant water battery, PSH plants store energy in the form of water to be used at later times. But unlike batteries, PSH plants can store energy at a much larger scale. Learn how pumped storage hydropower acts as energy storage for the electrical grid. (Video by the Department of Energy)

Is hydropower a tapped resource?

Hydropower was America’s first renewable power source. It is often mistakenly considered a tapped resource, but according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2016 Hydropower Vision report, hydropower’s capacity can sustainably add 50 new gigawatts by 2050 — 36 GW of which is pumped storage.
