The 17 pages that link to Pumped-storage hydroelectricity, each with the reason it gives.

• HydroelectricityBroader topic: It uses hydroelectric machinery to shift electricity supply across time rather than relying on natural inflow alone.

• Thermal energy storageCompared with: It stores energy as gravitational potential rather than retained heat or cold.

• Energy storageBroader topic: It stores surplus electricity as gravitational potential energy in elevated water.

• HydropowerBroader topic: It uses reversible water movement to store electricity for later generation.

• Energy densityRelated: Its low energy per volume is offset by large reservoirs and long storage duration.

• Battery energy storage systemCompared with: It offers large-scale, long-duration storage through reservoirs rather than electrochemical cells.

• Francis turbineBroader topic: Reversible Francis pump-turbines can serve both pumping and generating roles in these plants.

• Grid energy storageBroader topic: It stores grid energy as gravitational potential energy in elevated water.

• Intermittent renewable energyBroader topic: It stores surplus renewable electricity and returns it during periods of scarcity.

• Run-of-the-river hydroelectricityCompared with: It stores energy by cycling water between reservoirs rather than relying on natural river flow.

• Hydroelectric damCompared with: It uses dam-like reservoirs to store electricity rather than relying only on natural inflows.

• PenstockRelated: Its water passages, including penstocks, must handle flow in operating cycles.

• Compressed-air energy storageCompared with: It stores energy through elevation rather than compressed air.

• Vanadium redox flow batteryCompared with: Both suit long-duration storage, but one stores energy in liquid chemistry and the other in elevated water.

• Water turbineRelated: Reversible turbine-pump units help store and return electrical energy.

• Load-following power plantRelated: It shifts generation across hours and can complement plants that follow shorter-term demand changes.

• Home energy storageNarrower topic: It provides a large-scale counterpart to the small electrical stores installed in homes.
