These fundamental energy-based storage systems can be categorized into three primary types: mechanical, electrochemical, and thermal energy storage. Furthermore, energy storage systems can be classified based on several criteria, such as the type of stored energy, the technology employed, their intended application, and their capacity (1,2).
To categorize storage systems in the energy sector, they first need to be carefully defined. This chapter defines storage as well as storage systems, describes their use, and then classifies storage systems according to temporal, spatial, physical, energy-related, and economic criteria.
An energy storage system (ESS) can be classified based on its methods and applications. Some energy storage methods may be suitable for specific applications, while others can be applied in a wider range of frames. The inclusion of energy storage methods and technologies in various sectors is expected to increase in the future.
Energy storage technologies could be classified using different aspects, such as the technical approach they take for storing energy; the types of energy they receive, store, and produce; the timescales they are best suitable for; and the capacity of storage. 1.
