Pumped hydro storage (PHS) has the largest share of installed capacity in MENA at 55%, as compared to a global share of 90%. Pumped hydro storage is one of the oldest energy storage technologies, which explains its dominance in the global ESS market.
This necessitates reinforcing the power network, firming capacities, and enhancing the grids' stability and flexibility. Increasing the deployment of intermittent energy sources without integrating energy storage systems may jeopardize the power system stability and security of supply.
An energy storage system is charged from the grid or by on-site generation to be used at a later time to take advantage of price diferentials. Energy storage is used instead of upgrading the transmission network infrastructure. The storage system provides the grid with the necessary output to ensure the voltage level on the network remains steady.
