Pumped-storage hydroelectricity

SummaryOverviewHistoryWorldwide usePump-back hydroelectric damsPotential technologiesSee alsoExternal links

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing.
