This Committee report, "Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Technology: International Experience", was prepared by the Task Committee on Pumped Storage, Energy Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Because of the varied functions that a pumped storage project can provide to an electric system, interest in pumped storage is growing throughout the world. Pumped storage continues to be a valuable and reliable generating resource despite a changing electric generation mix, substantial changes in generation fuel prices, and major advancements in gas turbine technology. This report describes

Pumped storage has become increasingly important in the electricity supply industry in coping with sudden peak demands and stabilizing frequency. It has proven a particularly cost-effective way of providing electrical energy at very short notice. Moreover, the simple technology involved means that it can be used in Third World countries without high level technical support.With contributions from a variety of countries, this book provides an international analysis of the latest developments in the field.

Grid energy storage refers to the methods used to store electrical energy within an electrical power grid. Electrical energy is stored during times when production (from power plants) exceeds consumption and the stores are utilized at times when consumption exceeds production. In this way, electricity production must not be so drastically scaled up and down to meet momentary consumption ? instead, production is maintained at a more constant level. This has the advantage that fuel-based power plants (i.e. coal, oil, gas) can be more efficiently and easily operated at constant production levels.
