Solar and wind energies are expanding fast. They are renewable and clean but do not generate energy constantly. Their variations are unpredictable and do not correspond to electricity consumption curves. They create risks of instability for the grid if there is no energy or if there is too much energy. Energy storage allows electrical networks to absorb excess energy and dispatch it when it is needed, rather than "ramping" generation or adding "peakers" to meet varying demand... Pumped Hydroelectric Storage (PHS) was invented more than a century ago. Water is pumped to an elevated reservoir, then used to drive a turbine-generator during periods of high electricity demand... It reinvents the well-known and well proven Pumped Hydroelectric storage process (PHS) also called Pumped Storage.
