How Pumped Storage Hydropower Works | Department of Energy
To generate electricity when power from the plant is needed, water flows from the upper reservoir, because of gravity, through turbine (s) that rotate generator (s) to produce electricity. The water then flows into the lower reservoir where it remains until electricity demand lowers. When this occurs, the turbines spin backward to pump the ...
