energy storage Insights

What is energy storage?

Energy storage encompasses methods used to store energy in various forms for later use. Common types include batteries (electrochemical), pumped hydro (potential energy), compressed air (pressure), thermal storage (heat/cold), and flywheels (kinetic energy). It's widely used to balance energy supply and demand, improve grid reliability, and enable the use of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
