Pumped storage provides a ''load'' when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, and it also provides a reliable and immediate source of dispatchable energy when the available renewable generation can''t meet demand. By pumping the water uphill when generation exceeds demand, the pumped storage scheme is essentially ''storing'' energy ...
Hence, to suppress such fluctuations, energy storage is essential. Pumped hydro storage (PHS) in this context is one of the most attractive choices due to high efficiency, reliability and low cost. This paper discusses the use of PHS for removing the intermittency in supplies from solar and wind energy.

At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the upper reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. Reversible turbine/generator assemblies act as combined pump and turbine generator units (usually Francis turbine designs). Variable speed operation further optimizes th…
In this pilot project, the foundations of the wind turbines are used as upper reservoirs of a PHS facility. They are connected to a pumped-storage power station in the valley that can provide up to 16 MW in power. The electrical storage capacity of the power plant is designed for a total of 70 MWh (Max Bögl, 2018).
