This is very cool.

I had thought that this type of pumpped hydro power system was what we need a lot more of to use in conjunction with intermittent power sources like wind and solar.

Glad to know a few were built between the 60’s and 90’s and they are still operational.
They don’t have the fix number of cycle limitation of a chemical battery.

Ludington’s Liquid Power: One of the Largest Batteries in the World

Michigan’s Ludington Pumped Storage Plant uses excess electricity to pump water uphill, which generates power when it flows back down. This reservoir holds more than just water. Set on a bluff hundreds of feet above Lake Michigan, it also stores potential energy that can be unleashed to produce h

Greener ‘#waterbatteries’ a step closer thanks to breakthrough by Melbourne researchers: they are Cheaper, Recyclable, And Won't Explode
'#Water #batteries' known as aqueous metal-ion batteries. They use metals such as magnesium or zinc, which are cheaper to assemble and less toxic than the materials currently used in other kinds of batteries. In a #waterbattery, electrolytic fluid is water with a few added salts, instead of something like sulfuric acid or lithium salt.
