The most common form of large-scale energy storage system is of hydroelectricity Pumped-storage. These types of storage systems were originally developed to help generate electricity during peak times and also as a backup for nuclear power plants. Examining the recent trends in the design of the electricity market and the increase in the unstable production of renewable energies, provides the possibility of providing other services by the hydroelectricity Pumped-storage, which, while earning additional income for the power plant, also helps the power system. While market design issues have evolved since their inception, there are still ways in which designs can be improved to better understand the value of all the capabilities of pumped storage systems while still maintaining a fair and unbiased view of the electricity market. This article addresses some of the problems that may limit the full valuation of hydroelectricity Pumped-storage in today's markets and suggests solutions for these problems.
