What is energy storage & why is it important?

Energy storage is a key technology for realizing the future large-scale use of renewable sources, to reach the goal of carbon neutrality.

What types of articles can I submit to energy storage?

Energy Storage welcomes submissions of the following article types : Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Review, Technology and Code.

Who invented stationary energy storage?

Twenty years ago, when Dr. Gyuk took charge of the stationary energy storage program, the technology was only beginning to be explored. There were very few demonstrations and the rare industry meetings were only attended by a handful of researchers, scientists, and dreamers.

What is energy storing process?

Here, the main energy-storing process occurs when electricity is used to compress a gas, like argon, to a high pressure, heating it up; electricity is generated when the gas is allowed to expand through a turbine generator.

What is the world's largest battery storage facility?

One of the world’s largest battery grid storage facilities, in California’s Monterey County, reached its full capacity in 2023 at a site with a natural-gas-powered plant. It can now store 3,000 megawatt-hours and is capable of providing 750 megawatts — enough to power more than 600,000 homes — for up to four hours.

How do scientists keep energy in reserve for lean times?

Researchers are designing new technologies, from reinvented batteries to compressed air and spinning wheels, to keep energy in reserve for the lean times. Sandia National Laboratories researchers Leo Small, back right, and Erik Spoerke, back left, observe as Martha Gross, front, works in an argon glove box on their lab-scale sodium iodide battery.
