Hydropower is the most frequently used mechanical energy storage method, having been in use for centuries. For almost a century, large hydroelectric dams have served as energy storage facilities. Concerns about air pollution, energy imports, and global warming have sparked an increase in renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power.
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
Energy storage systems also can be classified based on storage period. Short-term energy storage typically involves the storage of energy for hours to days, while long-term storage refers to storage of energy from a few months to a season (3–6 months).
Variable power is produced by several renewable energy sources, including solar and wind. Storage systems can help to balance out the supply and demand imbalances that this produces. Electricity must be used promptly when it is generated or transformed into storable forms.
Pumped-storage hydroelectric dams, rechargeable batteries, thermal storage, such as molten salts, which can store and release large amounts of heat energy efficiently, compressed air energy storage, flywheels, cryogenic systems, and superconducting magnetic coils are all examples of storage that produce electricity.
Storage energy density is the energy accumulated per unit volume or mass, and power density is the energy transfer rate per unit volume or mass. When generated energy is not available for a long duration, a high energy density device that can store large amounts of energy is required.
