Water Batteries For Solar and Wind Power‍How It WorksWorld''s Biggest BatteryGravity Storage, Grid-ScaleFuture PotentialPolicy RecommendationsFurther ReadingLatest StatisticsPumped hydropower storage uses the force of gravity to generate electricity using water that has been previously pumped from a lower source to an upper reservoir. The water is pumped to the higher reservoir at times of low demand and low electricity prices. At times of high demand - and higher prices - the water is then released to drive a turbineSee more on hydropower
