What is pumped storage hydropower (PSH)?

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 from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power to pump water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
