What's the sound idea for build pumped hydro storage on flat land?
- ncmncm 5y agoThere is such a thing as a water tower, but that also is probably not practical utility-scale energy storage. The sound idea is water stored up an existing hill. On flat land you store your energy some other way: underground hydrogen or compressed air, or iron-air batteries, or liquified air, or any of various other choices that are more expensive and less efficient than pumped hydro. Or just run a wire over to someplace that does have hills.
