Energy storage materials are functional materials that utilize physical or chemical changes in substances to store energy. The stored energy can be chemical energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy, or other forms of energy. Energy storage materials are inseparable from energy storage technology.
Energy storage is the capturing and holding of energy in reserve for later use. Energy storage solutions for electricity generation include pumped-hydro storage, batteries, flywheels, compressed-air energy storage, hydrogen storage and thermal energy storage components.
Energy storage is essential for ensuring a steady supply of renewable energy to power systems, even in the absence of the sun and when the wind is not blowing.
Energy storage systems help to overcome obstacles related to energy generation from renewable sources that vary in their availability, such as solar and wind. They are capable of storing energy at times of high production and releasing it when demand is high or generation is low.
In a world in full development of technologies related to renewable energies, progress in electrical energy storage systems plays a fundamental role. This development accompanies the promotion of sustainable energy sources and makes it possible to optimize the use of each megawatt generated, contributing to the balance of grid systems.
Pumped hydro, batteries, flywheels, compressed air, thermal storage, as well as hydrogen, are a few of the more popular systems [39, 40]. The capacity, power, efficiency, price, lifespan, and environmental impact of each technology are unique.
