Energy Storage

Energy storage refers to the process of capturing and holding energy for use at a later time. It enables the retention of energy produced at one time for consumption at another, allowing for a more stable and efficient energy supply. Energy storage systems can take various forms, including batteries, pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air, thermal energy storage, and flywheels, among others. The primary purpose of energy storage is to balance supply and demand, enhance grid stability, integrate renewable energy sources, and provide backup power. By storing excess energy generated during low-demand periods or from renewable sources like solar or wind, energy storage helps to ensure that energy is available when demand peaks or when generation is low. This technology plays a critical role in modern energy systems, contributing to sustainability, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and facilitating the transition to cleaner energy sources.
