Category: Energy Storage
Energy storage refers to the capture and holding of energy for later use. This technology enables the storage of energy generated at one time for consumption at another, effectively balancing supply and demand. Energy can be stored in various forms, including batteries, pumped hydroelectric systems, compressed air, flywheels, and thermal storage systems. The purpose of energy storage is to improve the efficiency of energy systems, enhance grid reliability, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, which may produce variable outputs. By storing excess energy generated during periods of low demand and releasing it during peak demand, energy storage systems help to mitigate energy shortages, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and stabilize the electrical grid.
