"Storage will be more and more important to smooth out some of the variability that comes when the wind isn''t blowing, when the sun goes behind the clouds," Hanley says. Solar energy technologies can generate a lot of electricity during the daytime, although peak electricity demand often occurs later, when people come home from work and school.

Energy storage is a valuable tool for balancing the grid and integrating more renewable energy. When energy demand is low and production of renewables is high, the excess energy can be stored for later use. When demand for energy or power is high and supply is low, the stored energy can be discharged. Due to the hourly, seasonal, and locational
In terms of production processes and geopolitics, sodium-ion batteries are also an alternative that can accelerate the transition to a fossil-free society. "Batteries based on abundant raw materials could reduce geopolitical risks and dependencies on specific regions, both for battery manufacturers and countries," says Rickard Arvidsson.
The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage). Thermal energy storage systems can be as simple as hot-water tanks, but more advanced technologies can store energy more densely (e.g., molten salts
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
