Pumped-storage is a common type of energy storage. Hydroelectric power is generally used to store excess grid power. Electricity from the grid is often used to pump water up into a tank or lake when demand is low. Water is permitted to flow from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir when demand spikes.
