    How does energy storage work?

    The so-called battery “charges” when power is used to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The energy storage system “discharges” power when water, pulled by gravity, is released back to the lower-elevation reservoir and passes through a turbine along the way.

    Why do energy storage systems need a DC connection?

    DC connection The majority of energy storage systems are based on DC systems (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells). For this reason, connecting in parallel at DC level more storage technologies allows to save an AC/DC conversion stage, and thus improve the system efficiency and reduce costs.
