3.2. Description of pumped hydro energy storage systems. PHES system is an energy generation system that relies on gravitational potential. PHES systems are designed as a two-level hierarchical reservoir system joined by a pump and generator, usually situated between the reservoirs ( Kocaman & Modi, 2017 ).
Pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power (discharge) as water moves down through a turbine; this draws power as it pumps water (recharge) to the upper reservoir. PSH capabilities can be characterized as open loop ...
