Ireland’s pumped storage facility is located in Turlough Hill in the Wicklow
Mountains. There is a virtual tour of it on the Web Site at
http://www.esb.ie/html/edua.htm.
Another proposed method is to store electricity as rotational energy in a
huge flywheel. However, you would need many tonnes rotating at thousands of
revolutions per minute on frictionless bearings. Would you feel safe standing
next to such a monster?
