energy storage systems
Energy storage systems are pivotal in the modern energy landscape, providing the means to retain and deploy electricity when and where it's needed most. These systems primarily function to balance power supply and demand, store excess energy during low-usage periods, and supply electricity during peak times. Technologically advanced, they encompass a variety of technologies such as batteries (both lithium-ion and flow), flywheels, compressed air, and pumped hydro storage. Key features include high efficiency, scalability, and the ability to discharge and recharge quickly. Applications span across renewable energy integration, grid stability, peak shaving, and off-grid electricity supply, significantly contributing to the resilience and sustainability of our power infrastructure.
