Change "hydro storage" to "pumped hydro"

[pbubik]

Could consider changing the term "hydro storage" to "pumped hydro"?

Hydro storage refers to the amount of energy stored behind a dam of a large hydro power project without having it pumped there. CA-BC for example has at any given time many TWh of storage on its massive reservoirs. It does not have a single pumped hydro energy storage project.

Pumped hydro is more accurate description of what we are tracking.

I appreciate an open discussion on this.

Hello,
On the sources for production/consumption one sees the production of buffers like pumpstorage, but not when they are filled.
It would be interesting to see when the buffers are filled. Are these data available ?
Kind regards,

This data is displayed when the source for the zone provides it. A good example is El Hierro.

I agree with you that it's probably a better description as normal hydro reservoirs are also technically hydro storage. Pumped storage is a more descriptive name as it indicates the plants can run in reverse as well (aka pumping up water into the reservoir).

@rasmusjeppsen what do you think?
