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.
Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy.
The “Energy Storage Grand Challenge” prepared by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) reports that among all energy storage technologies, compressed air energy storage (CAES) offers the lowest total installed cost for large-scale application (over 100 MW and 4 h).
The Journal of Energy Storage is a publication that focuses on all aspects of energy storage. This includes systems integration, electric grid integration, modelling and analysis, novel energy storage technologies, sizing and management strategies, business models for operation of storage systems, and more.
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.
