1.1 A brief history
The storage of electrical energy for grid needs has existed since the 1930s. Built in 1933, the Lac Noir pumped-storage power station (STEP) was the first in France. These STEPs were developed mainly from the 1970s-1980s, to accompany the development of nuclear power (France, Germany, Spain, Italy). They are used to smooth the consumption curve (shifting consumption from peak to off-peak hours) and enable more stable production by nuclear power plants.
Pumped-storage power plants (Figure 1 ) store energy in the form of potential energy. Water is transferred from an upper basin to a lower basin...
