A GIS-based model to calculate the potential for transforming conventional hydropower schemes and non-hydro reservoirs to pumped hydropower schemes
Fitzgerald, Niall; Lacal Arántegui, Roberto; McKeogh, Eamon - In: Energy 41 (2012) 1, pp. 483-490
The substantial increase in power generation from variable renewable sources has led to renewed interest in energy storage. Pumped hydropower remains the only mature and widely-adopted utility-scale energy storage technology. However, the selection and development of new pumped hydropower sites...

Pumped-hydro energy storage : potential for transformation from single dams (Analysis of the potential for transformation of non-hydropower dams and reservoir hydropower schemes into pumping hydropower schemes in Europe)
Lacal Arántegui, Roberto (contributor);  … - European Commission / Joint Research Centre - 2012
Electricity storage is one of the main ways to enable a higher share of variable renewable electricity such as wind and solar, the other being improved interconnections, flexible conventional generation plant, and demand-side management. Pumped hydropower storage (PHS) is currently the only...
