Pumped hydro, batteries, thermal and mechanical energy storage store solar, wind, hydro and other renewable energy to supply peaks in demand for power.
Learn more. The rapid evolution of renewable energy sources and the increasing demand for sustainable power systems have necessitated the development of efficient and reliable large-scale energy storage technologies.
Briefly, two other potential ways to store energy on a large scale are flywheels and a smart grid. The concept behind flywheels is fairly simple in that it is just the conversion of electrical energy to rotational kinetic energy for storage and then conversion back to electrical energy using a generator for extraction.
Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, are technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
In contrast to compressed air storage, a fairly mature and widely-used large scale storage method involves pumping water from lower elevations to higher elevations. This practice is currently the most frequently used way of storing electricity, accounting for over 129 GW worldwide.
Li-ion and flow batteries can also provide market oriented services. The best location of the storage should be considered and depends on the service. Energy storage can play an essential role in large scale photovoltaic power plants for complying with the current and future standards (grid codes) or for providing market oriented services.
Mechanical energy storage systems can be distinguished in two main groups by looking at their response times, power and energy ratings as well. Slow, usually large capacity mechanical energy storage systems are represented by Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) and Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), both mature technologies.
