Pumped storage hydropower is the most dominant form of energy storage on the electric grid today. It also plays an important role in bringing more renewable resources onto the grid. PSH can be characterized as open-loop or closed-loop. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water. . Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems store electricity and convert it back to electrical energy when needed. The first battery, Volta's cell, was developed in 1800.
