INTRODUCTION TO ENERGY

STORAGE TECHNOLOGY
• Energy storage refers to
INTRODUCTION capturing energy for later use
to ensure a continuous and
• efficient power supply.
Energy storage technology is
critical for bridging the gap
between energy supply and
demand, particularly in the
context of increasing
renewable energy integration
and the need for grid
stability..It covers an extensive
array of techniques and
systems that store energy for
later use.
Prevents power outages and
enhances resilience.

2.Renewable Energy Integration:


Overcomes intermittency of solar
WHY ENERGY and wind power.

STORAGE IS 3.Peak Load Management:


Reduces stress on the power grid
IMPORTANT? by storing excess energy.

4.Cost Savings: Reduces electricity


costs by shifting consumption to
off-peak hours.

5.Energy Access: Enables


electrification in remote and off-
grid locations.

6.Backup Power: Provides reliable


power during emergencies or
outages.

• Pumped Hydroelectric Storage:
Uses excess electricity to pump water
uphill. Later releases it to generate
power. MECHANICAL
• Compressed Air Energy Storage ENERGY
(CAES): Stores compressed air in
underground caverns. Expands the STORAGE
air to generate electricity when
needed.

• Flywheel Energy Storage: Uses


rotational energy storage. Provides
fast response and high efficiency.

• Applications: Grid balancing,


backup power, renewable energy
