This report, originally published in September , has been revised in March to improve and correct calculations of technical specifications and costs for water conductor components so that the model is more closely aligned with the EPRI Pumped-Storage Planning and Evaluation Guide
for high capacity, long duration energy storage. PSH can support large penetration of VRE, such as wind and solar, into the power system by compensating for their variability and provides a range of grid services such as mechanical inertia, frequency regulation and voltage control, operating
bility to assure grid resilience. The combination of increasing variable renewable resources and the retirement of fossil fueled dispatchable capacity makes hydropower and pumped storage the unique proven technology that can provide clea a and long duration energy storage. PSH’s existing
Pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES) generally has lower costs compared to other forms of utility-scale energy storage, particularly lithium-ion battery storage, when evaluated on a per kilowatt-hour ($/kWh) basis. Typically, PHES has a capital cost ranging from about $1,000 to $2,000 per kW
Pumped storage hydropower does not calculate levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or levelized cost of storage (LCOS) and so does not use financial assumptions. Therefore, all parameters are the same for the research and development (R&D )and Markets & Policies Financials cases. ATB data for pumped
