What is energy density in a battery? Energy density in batteries is often confused with the battery''s power and capacity. But these are different terms that have a specific use in understanding batteries. Energy density is about how much energy a battery carries with respect to its weight. It is presented in terms of Watt-hour per kilogram.
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).

A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy — enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design.
It comprises 875 megawatts (MW) of solar and 3,320 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy storage. The project sits on both private land and land belonging to Edwards Air Force Base.
