Pumped hydro storage (PHS) is a form of energy storage that makes use of hydropower. It is the most widely used form of large-scale energy storage in the world. The concept involves moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations to store and generate electricity.
Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS): A type of hydroelectric power generation that stores and manages energy by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Upper Reservoir: The higher-elevation reservoir in a pumped hydro storage system where water is stored during periods of low electricity demand.

Pumped hydro storage integrated RES has gained much popularity due to low maintenance cost, long life, high energy density, and environment friendliness. This has been used for regulation purposes, to manage the variable energy demand and production across a day. However, this technology faces varied challenges towards its deployment.
EERA Joint Program SP4 - Mechanical Storage Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) plants are a particular type of hydropower plants which allow not only to produce electric energy but also to store it in an upper reservoir in the form of gravitational potential energy of the water.
The efficiency of pumped hydro storage systems is typically between 70% and 80%, meaning that a significant portion of the energy used to pump the water can be recovered during the generation process.
