It has been globally acknowledged that energy storage will be a key element in the future for renewable energy (RE) systems. Recent studies about using energy storages for achieving high RE penetration have gained increased attention. This paper presents a detailed review on pumped hydro storage (PHS) based hybrid solar-wind power supply systems.
Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a form of clean energy storage that is ideal for electricity grid reliability and stability. PSH complements wind and solar by storing the excess electricity they create and providing the backup for when the wind isn’t blowing, and the sun isn’t shining.
Pumped hydropower energy storage stores energy in the form of potential energy that is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher one putting the water source available to turbine to fit the energy demand.
However, solar and wind are variable energy sources and difficult to align with demand. Hydropower already supports integration of wind and solar energy into the supply grid through flexibility in generation as well as its potential for storage capacity.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide.
