Energy Storage and its Importance in Building a Sustainable Future. Energy storage is the process of capturing and storing excess energy generated during times of low demand, so it can be used during times of high demand. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources into our electricity grid.
Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential
Electrical energy storage systems include supercapacitor energy storage systems (SES), superconducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES), and thermal energy storage systems []. Energy storage, on the other hand, can assist in managing peak demand by storing extra energy during off-peak hours and releasing it during periods of high
