What is pumped-storage hydropower?

2.1. Pumped-storage hydropower in mines (power-to-potential energy) PSHM uses the drifts and goafs of underground mines as multilevel water storage reservoirs. When the electricity supply exceeds the demand, water is pumped to the upper-level reservoirs, and excess power is converted into gravitational potential energy (GPE).

What is Daofu pumped-storage station?

The Daofu pumped-storage station is expected to store 12.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity daily, meeting the power consumption needs of approximately 2 million households in Sichuan. The station will be of great significance for optimizing the power structure and boosting the complementary development of new energy sources.

Will large-scale energy storage technologies play a vital role in China's future energy system?
