The so-called battery “charges” when power is used to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The energy storage system “discharges” power when water, pulled by gravity, is released back to the lower-elevation reservoir and passes through a turbine along the way.
For instance, when the clouds suddenly appear or the wind stops blowing then the energy production from photovoltaics and wind turbines will be decreased dramatically. Thus, energy storage can allow energy to be stored during high renewable generation or low demand periods, and to be used during low renewable production or high demand periods .
Thermal energy storage (TES) can be found at solar-thermal electric power plants that use concentrating solar power (CSP) systems. Such systems use concentrated sunlight to heat fluid, such as water or molten salt. While steam from the fluid can be used to produce electricity immediately, the fluid can also be stored in tanks for later use.
