That's not the same thing. In a standard hydroelectric dam, you need an existing river to create electricity. The goal of pumped storage isn't to create new electricity, but to store large amounts of unused baseload power. This can be done with a standard hydroelectric dam by pumping the water back up into the lake behind the dam, but it can also be an entirely artificial reservoir. |
