Energy Storage
Energy storage is the capture and containment of energy which can be used over a period of time. It is a critical part of the global energy infrastructure, enabling the efficient use of energy from renewable and non-renewable sources. Examples of energy storage include batteries, flywheels, compressed air and pumped hydropower. Energy storage technologies are increasingly important in regulating electricity grids, improving the reliability of electricity supply, and enabling grid connection of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Energy storage can also improve the economics of electricity supply, allowing energy to be used more efficiently and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
