  2. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    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. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.

  3. List of pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage...

    The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...

  4. Energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage

    Storage capacity is the amount of energy extracted from an energy storage device or system; usually measured in joules or kilowatt-hours and their multiples, it may be given in number of hours of electricity production at power plant nameplate capacity; when storage is of primary type (i.e., thermal or pumped-water), output is sourced only with ...

  5. Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muddy_Run_Pumped_Storage...

    The facility is operated by the Susquehanna Electric Company, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy. The facility's upper reservoir is the 1,000-acre (400 ha) Muddy Run Reservoir, with a full pool elevation of over 500 feet (150 m), and a usable storage capacity of 1,466 million cubic feet (33,700 acre⋅ft; 41.5 hm 3).

  6. Stored Energy at Sea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored_Energy_at_Sea

    This system would use the high water pressure at great water depths to store energy in hollow bodies. Shortly, after their idea was published on 1 April 2011 in the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a consortium of the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology and the construction company Hochtief AG was set ...

  8. Dinorwig Power Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station

    The energy storage capacity of the station is approximately 9.1 GWh. [2] At peak output water flows through the generators at 390 cubic metres (86,000 imperial gallons) per second (about the volume of a 25 m (27 yd) swimming pool every second).

  9. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

    NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...
