energy storage system

An energy storage system is a mechanism that allows for the capture, retention, and release of energy for later use. These systems are essential for ensuring reliability and stability of power grids, as well as for integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind into the grid. Energy storage systems can include batteries, flywheels, compressed air, pumped hydro storage, and thermal energy storage. By storing excess energy when demand is low and releasing it when demand is high, these systems help to balance supply and demand, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve overall energy efficiency.
