Pumped storage hydropower is the world''s largest battery technology, accounting for over 94 per cent of installed global energy storage capacity, well ahead of lithium-ion and other battery types. The International Hydropower Association (IHA) estimates that pumped hydro projects worldwide store up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity.
Hydropower relies on the endless, constantly recharging system of the water cycle to produce electricity, using a fuel—water—that is not reduced or eliminated in the process. There are many types of hydropower facilities, though they are all powered by the kinetic energy of flowing water as it moves downstream.
