Pumped hydropower storage (PHS), also called pumped hydroelectricity storage, stores electricity in the form of water head for electricity supply/demand balancing. For pumping water to a reservoir at a higher level, low-cost off-peak electricity or renewable plants' production is used.
During pumping mode water travels from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. Then, during generating mode water travels from the upper reservoir back to the lower reservoir. A simplified layout for a typical “off-stream” pumped storage hydropower project is illustrated on Figure 18. Figure 18.
