Pumped storage hydropower is a clever way to store electricity using two water reservoirs at different heights. When there is extra power, often from solar or wind, water is pumped from the lower reservoir to the upper one. 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. SRP has been operating pumped storage. This project is located in an agricultural irrigation zone where farmers have long relied on diesel generators to power water pumps. However, this method comes with high fuel costs, complex maintenance, and significant carbon emissions from diesel combustion. In India, as we chase ambitious renewable energy goals, this age-old yet smart technique is gaining fresh relevance. How does Pumped Hydro Storage work?.
