Energy storage refers to the process of capturing and holding energy produced at one time for use at a later time. This can involve various technologies and methods that store energy in different forms, such as chemical, mechanical, thermal, or electrical energy. The primary purpose of energy storage is to ensure a reliable and consistent energy supply, balancing energy demand and supply, especially in systems reliant on renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Energy storage systems include batteries, pumped hydro storage, flywheels, compressed air energy storage, and thermal storage. By enabling energy to be stored when generation exceeds demand and to be released when demand exceeds generation, energy storage plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of energy systems.
