This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory at Executive Summary Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) can meet electricity system needs for energy, capacity, and flexibility, and it can play a key role in integrating high shares of variable renewable generation such as wind and solar.
March 2021 While there is a general understanding that pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a valuable energy storage resource that provides many services and benefits for the operation of power systems, determining the value of PSH plants and their various services and contributions has been a challenge.
Pumped hydro considered by the Battery of the Nation initiative considers storage sizes ranging from 7 to 48 hours. ISP modelling considered storage as having only 2 hours storage in the case of battery energy storage systems and 6 hours in the case of pumped hydro.
AEMO, in developing the ISP, has taken a view of pumped hydro energy storage costs, both CAPEX and OPEX, and capabilities (storage size) which limits the attractiveness of pumped hydro and ensures that significant development of pumped hydro capacity in the NEM is not required for many years.
Table 1 shows a list of pumped hydro storage facilities, their work capacities, initial costs and costs adjusted to 2000 dollars. As can be seen from the table, while the initial costs of pumped water storage may have been $100/kW, those estimates are all from the 1970's.
ping, as in a conventional hydropower facility.With a total installed capacity of over 160 GW, pumped storage currently accounts for more than 90 percen of grid scale energy storage capacity globally. It is a mature and reliable technology capable of storing energy for daily or weekly cycles and up to months, as well as seasonal application
