Abstract. The integration of storage technologies into the hybrid energy system (HES) offers significant stability in delivering electricity to a remote community.
The Basics. A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure vessel containing a membrane or piston that confines and compresses an inert gas (typically nitrogen). Hydraulic fluid is held on other side of the membrane. An accumulator in a hydraulic device stores hydraulic energy much like a car battery stores electrical energy.

In low demand period, energy is stored by compressing air in an air tight space (typically 4.0~8.0 MPa) such as underground storage cavern. To extract the stored energy, compressed air is drawn from the storage vessel, mixed with fuel and combusted, and then expanded through a turbine.

Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation. Low-cost surplus off-peak electric power is typically used to run the

A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which an incompressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure that is applied by an external source of mechanical energy. The external source can be an engine, a spring, a raised weight, or a compressed gas. An accumulator enables a hydraulic system to cope with extremes of demand using a less powerful pump, to respond more quickly to a temporary demand, and to smooth out pulsations. It is a type of energy storage
