Pump Up the Storage | Do the Math

The idea for pumped hydro storage is that we can pump a mass of water up into a reservoir (shelf), and later retrieve this energy at will—barring evaporative loss. Pumps and turbines (often implemented as the same physical unit, actually) can be something like 90% efficient, so the round-trip storage comes at only modest cost.

Why is everything so quiet on pumped-hydroelectric storage?

Pumped hydro and lithium ion batteries really serve different needs on power grids. Batteries are usually 4 hour duration and serve intra-day needs and ancillary services. Pumped hydro is long duration storage. As we add more renewables and retire more fossil fuels we''ll begin to need much more of the latter.
