Energy Storage Technologies
Energy Storage Technologies refer to a diverse group of methods and devices designed to capture energy produced at one time for use at a later time. A primary function of these technologies is to overcome the intermittency of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, by storing excess power when generation is high and releasing it when demand exceeds supply. This process involves converting electrical energy into a storable form—such as chemical potential in batteries, gravitational potential in pumped hydro storage, or thermal energy in molten salts—thereby enhancing grid stability, improving power quality, and accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy future.
