Energy Storage

Energy storage refers to the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time. It allows energy to be stored and released when needed, helping to balance supply and demand. Common forms of energy storage include batteries, pumped hydroelectric storage, thermal storage, and compressed air storage. Energy storage systems are crucial for integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the power grid, as they can mitigate the intermittent nature of these energy sources. By storing excess energy generated during peak production times, energy storage enables a more reliable and efficient energy system.
