Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. 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 back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
Section 2 delivers insights into the mechanism of TES and classifications based on temperature, period and storage media. TES materials, typically PCMs, lack thermal conductivity, which slows down the energy storage and retrieval rate. There are other issues with PCMs for instance, inorganic PCMs (hydrated salts) depict
Its melting point is lower than 90 °C, and decomposition temperature is higher than 600 °C. As a heat transfer and storage medium the liquefied range of molten salt should be broadened (Solar Salt 220–565 °C [16], Hitec 142–450 °C [17]). It will bring down the operational risk of freezing-up in case of an accident with unexpected
