Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196. Pumped hydro storage is the largest form of grid energy storage, accounting for up to 95 percent of all installed grid storage worldwide. The problem with reservoir hydro systems is that the storage reservoirs require significant space which can have environmental and social impacts. [pdf]
