2.1. General concept of pumped storage Pumped storage originates from hydro generator technology, and as an energy storage technology, is commonly used as an auxiliary power service, such as peak shaving, frequency and phase regulation, emergency backup, and maintain the stability of the grid.
The first use of pumped storage was in the Engeweiher PPSP near Schaffhausen, Switzerland, in 1907 , and large-scale development began in the 1950s. At present, the development of PSPPs in the world has gone through four main stages, as shown in Table 1. Table 1. The four development stages of PSPPs in the worldwide.
