1. The Pumped Storage System and Its Constituent Elements Pumped storage hydro is a mature energy storage method. It uses the characteristics of the gravitational potential energy of water for easy energy storage, with a large energy storage scale, fast adjustment speed, flexible operation and high efficiency .
Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage or Pumped Heat Energy Storage is the last in-developing storage technology suitable for large-scale ES applications. PTES is based on a high temperature heat pump cycle, which transforms the off-peak electricity into thermal energy and stores it inside two man-made thermally isolated vessels: one hot and one cold.
In 2010, Desrues et al. were the first to present an investigation on a pumped thermal energy storage system for large scale electric applications based on Brayton cycle. The system works as a high temperature heat pump cycle during charging phase. It converts electricity into thermal energy and stores it inside two large man-made tanks.
Penstock is used to connect the two reservoirs. The key components of a pumped storage power station are the hydro turbine and pump, which usually adopt the form of bladed hydraulic machinery. The mechanical energy of the water and the mechanical energy of the runner can be converted to each other.
Pumped Hydro Storage or Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage is the most mature, commercially available and widely adopted large-scale energy storage technology since the 1890s. At the time of writing, around the world, there are 340 facilities in operation with a total installed power of 178 GW .
In this scenario, Pumped Thermal Electricity Storage or Pumped Heat Energy Storage constitutes a valid and really promising alternative to PHS, CAES, FBs, GES, LAES and Hydrogen storage.
