Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
Mechanical energy storage Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity. For example, a flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that is used to store rotational energy that can be called up instantaneously.
Energy storage works by using excess energy to store potential energy, which can later be converted back into electricity. The most common form of large-scale energy storage is pumped hydroelectricity, which uses excess energy to pump water uphill. Compressed air energy storage works similarly, but by pressurizing air instead of water.
Researchers are working on improving energy technologies to allow for electric energy storage systems to supply power for 10 hours or more, which could further stabilize power supplies as more renewable energy sources come online.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.
