Financial and economic modeling of large-scale gravity energy storage
It is shown that the LCOS decreases up to 28.8% when decreasing the discount rate from 8% to 6%. Whereas a discount rate of 4% results in a decrease of up to 47.5% reduction in the LCOS of the investigated systems. For example, The LCOS for Gravity Storage would fall from 111 US$/MWh to 87 and 66 US$/MWh.

Pumped Storage Hydropower | Department of Energy
What is Pumped Storage Hydropower? Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into
