Introduction
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). Pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) is the most widely used electrical energy storage technology in the world today.
