The concept of light storage and energy storage

What is energy storage?

Energy storage can be defined as the process in which we store the energy that was produced all at once. This process helps in maintaining the balance of the supply and demand of energy. Energy storage can also be defined as the process of transforming energy that is difficult to store into a form that can be kept affordably for later use.

What are the applications of energy storage?

Applications of energy storage Energy storage is an enabling technology for various applications such as power peak shaving, renewable energy utilization, enhanced building energy systems, and advanced transportation. Energy storage systems can be categorized according to application.

What are the different types of energy storage?

Note that other categorizations of energy storage types have also been used such as electrical energy storage vs thermal energy storage, and chemical vs mechanical energy storage types, including pumped hydro, flywheel and compressed air energy storage.
