에너지 저장

The term “에너지 저장” translates to “energy storage” in English. Energy storage refers to the process of capturing and holding energy for use at a later time. This can involve various technologies and methods that store energy generated from renewable sources, such as solar or wind, or from conventional sources, for use when demand is high, or supply is low.

Energy storage systems can include batteries, pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air, flywheels, thermal storage, and other forms of energy reservoirs. The primary purpose of energy storage is to enhance the reliability and stability of energy supply, enable the integration of renewable energy into the grid, and provide backup power in case of outages.

By storing excess energy when it is abundant and releasing it when it is needed, energy storage plays a critical role in modern energy management and sustainability efforts, helping to balance supply and demand, reduce energy costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
