Energy Storage

Energy storage refers to the process of capturing and holding energy for use at a later time. It involves the accumulation of energy generated at one time for use at another, ensuring that energy supply meets demand even when production does not occur, such as during low generation periods or peak usage times. Various technologies are used for energy storage, including batteries, pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air energy storage, and thermal storage. These systems are essential in enhancing grid reliability, integrating renewable energy sources, and providing backup power. Energy storage plays a crucial role in energy management, enabling greater efficiency and sustainability in energy use.
