Recently, the term “pumped-storage hydropower” is actually and appropriately discussed in the context of which one of the following?
✓ Correct answer: c) Long duration energy storage
ExplanationPumped-storage hydropower (PSH) is primarily discussed in the context of long-duration energy storage.It is a type of hydroelectric power generation that stores excess electricity by pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir during times of low energy demand.When energy demand is high, the stored water is released back down through turbines to generate electricity.This technology helps balance grid fluctuations, integrate renewable energy sources like wind and solar, and provide a reliable backup power supply.Science and Technology 567 148
