Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) plants are a particular type of hydropower plants which allow not only to produce electric energy but also to store it in an upper reservoir in the form of gravitational potential energy of the water.
Pumps driven by electric motor– generators move water from the lower to the upper basin, thereby storing potential energy. For electricity generation, the stored water flows back down through the pipes and into turbines, which drive generators that feed electricity into the power grid.
Concept. Pumped-storage power plants are structured around two bodies of water, an upper and a lower reservoir 1 (see the diagram below).. At times of very high electricity consumption on the grid, the water from the upper reservoir, carried downhill by a penstock, drives a turbine and a generator to produce electricity, which is used to meet the increased
Pumped-hydro energy storage (PHES) is an effective method of massively consuming the excess energy produced by renewable energy systems such as wind and photovoltaic (PV) [1].The common forms are conventional PHES with reversible pump turbines [2] and mixed PHES with conventional hydropower turbines and energy storage pumps (ESP)

#5 Pumped Storage Plants . The pumped storage plants are used at places where the quantity of water available for power generation is low. Here the water passing through the turbine is stored in a "tailrace pond". During the low load periods, this water is drawn back to the head reservoir applying the extra energy available.

First, in a conventional single-speed pumped-storage plant, for instance, synchronous machines (SMs) are employed. In this case, the input to the governor controls is speed, and the gate position is controlled to adjust power. However, the machine speed is not controlled because the machine is an SM and speed is locked to the system frequency.
