	Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pumped storage hydroelectricity is a method of storing and producing electricity to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoirs at different elevations.
		The upper reservoir (Llyn Stwlan) and dam of the Ffestiniog Pumped Storage Scheme in north Wales.
		The first use of pumped storage was in the 1890s in Italy and Switzerland.

	Hydroelectricity
		Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is a form of hydropower that uses the energy released as a result of water falling, or flowing downhill or by wave-differences, under the influence of gravity to produce electricity.
		Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source, since the water that flows in rivers has come from precipitation such as rain or snow and waves in the sea, or even ocean, are moon related.
		Hydroelectric power is usually generated at dams or other places where water descends from a height like coasts with a high tides difference.

	Solar Energy Encyclopedia Article, Information, History and Biography @ NaturalResearch.org
		The storage tank is placed inside the building, and thus require a controller that measures when the water is hotter in the panels than in the tank.
		Hydroelectric dams and wind turbines are indirectly powered by solar energy through its interaction with the Earth's atmosphere and the resulting weather phenomena.
		Passive solar systems are systems that do not involve the input of any other forms of energy apart from the incoming sunlight, although (in the case of solar heat through windows) there may be draperies or panels used to reduce nighttime heat losses and thermostatically or manually operated vents (but not fans) to prevent overheating.

	Hydroelectric Power in California
		In a pumped storage facility, water is pumped during off-peak demand periods from a reservoir at a lower elevation for storage in a reservoir at a higher elevation.
		During the off-peak pumping cycle, the pumped storage facility is a consumer of electricity: in fact, the amount of electricity required to pump the water uphill is greater than the amount of electricity that is generated when the water is released during peak demand periods.
		Pumped storage methods include both typical on-stream conventional and modular off-stream technologies.

	Dinorwig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dinorwig is a 1320MW pumped storage hydroelectricity scheme in the Pass of Llanberis on the edge of the Snowdonia national park in north Wales.
		It is comprised of 16km of tunnels, 1 million tons of concrete, 200,000 tons of cement and 4,500 tons of steel, housed beneath Elidir mountain.

		In Europe they have tried pumped storage in hydro reservoirs, where water is pumped uphill to store cheap energy, then fed through a hydro dam to supply the peaks.
		The latter term was not one I had seen used, while "pumped storage" for hydro is a fairly familiar phrase in power circles.
		The windmill pumped water to a large holding tank when the wind was blowing and a water mill was used to run the machinery.

		The second is a more unusual pumped storage project, using a man-made loch in the hills above the Loch; water is pumped up during times of surplus power, and used to power generators at times of peak demand.

		Hydroelectric Pumped Storage: Hydroelectricity that is generated during peak load periods by using water previously pumped into an elevated storage reservoir during off-peak periods when excess generating capacity is available to do so.
		Note: Electricity required for pumping at hydroelectric pumped-storage plants is regarded as electricity for station service and is deducted from gross generation.
		Underground Storage: The storage of natural gas in underground reservoirs at a different location from which it was produced.

	Hydropower
		Pumping water to the upper pool requires electricity so hydro plants usually use pumped storage systems when there is a big demand for electricity.
		At a pumped storage hydro plant, flowing, water is used to make electricity and then stored in a lower pool.
		Storage also makes it possible to save water from winter rains for summer generating power, or to save water from wet years for generating electricity during dry years.
