Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) have created a global atlas for potential pumped hydro storage sites located in former mining areas. “Mining sites can be shaped during the end ...

Closed-loop pumped-hydro storage offers more chances to minimize environmental effects on water sources and overcomes the problem of finding suitable sites. According to an Australian research team, ...

RheEnergise has brought its first High-Density Hydro® (HD Hydro) energy storage project into full power operation at Cornwood ...

The U.S. has thousands of lakes and reservoirs that could be paired for pumped hydro storage without the need for rivers. Ollo via Getty Images To cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in half within a ...

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity systems are to be found throughout the world, but always on a large scale. Researchers investigated whether energy storage via pumped hydro systems is possible on a ...

A new form of pumped hydro storage that uses a fluid 2.5 times denser than water has been successfully tested in Devon.

Utilities will continue to embrace pumped hydro storage, with the total worldwide market expected to exceed $350 billion by 2024, according to a new study by Global Market Insights. The report ...

The Frades II pumped-storage hydro project in Portugal took advantage of existing dams to incorporate a scheme that includes the largest variable-speed reversible units installed in Europe. The ...

Pumped hydro storage is one of the oldest grid storage technologies, and one of the most widely deployed, too. The concept is simple – use excess energy to pump a lot of water up high, then run it ...
