Pumped Hydro Storage Market, By Type (Open-Loop, Closed-Loop), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Pumped hydro storage (PHS) is an energy storage method that uses water to store energy. This process uses a reservoir, well, or rock formation to store water. When surplus electricity is generated, the pumped water is channeled over a turbine, generating electricity. This process is closed-loop and has the potential to store massive amounts of energy. Pumped hydro storage is a great way to store excess electricity and use it during times when demand is high. It is particularly useful in areas where the availability of peaker plants is limited. These plants are designed to operate during times of high demand, but are increasingly used to fill the gaps in the grid when intermittent renewable generation is insufficient.
Market Dynamics:
The pumped hydro storage market is growing in terms of revenue and installation in various geographies. Its key growth drivers include the availability of abundant natural resources, ease of construction, and power generation. Additionally, the rise in renewable energy generation and the increasing need for grid network load management are again contributing to the industry's growth. The industry's rapid growth is also supported by the emergence of newer technologies and ongoing R&D activities.
On the other hand, environmental and social impact of PHS projects is projected to hinder the market growth.
