Advanced Energy Storage refers to innovative technologies and systems designed to store energy efficiently for later use. These systems are capable of holding energy generated from various sources, such as renewable energy (like solar and wind), and releasing it when needed, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the energy supply. Advanced energy storage solutions include various methods, such as batteries (lithium-ion, flow batteries), pumped hydro storage, compressed air energy storage, and thermal energy storage. These technologies aim to improve energy management, reduce peak demand, integrate intermittent renewable energy into the grid, and enhance overall energy efficiency. The term “advanced” signifies that these methods are more sophisticated and effective compared to traditional energy storage techniques, allowing for better performance, increased capacity, and longer lifespan of the storage systems.
