Pumped Hydro-Energy Storage System
The fundamental principle of PHES is to store electric energy in the form of hydraulic potential energy. Pumping of water to upper reservoir takes place during off-peak hours when electricity demand and electricity prices are low. Generation takes place during peak hours when electricity demand and cost is high [164].
