StarStarStarStar

Pumped Hydroelectric Storage

StarStarStarStar

Uses excess electricity to pump water uphill to a reservoir; energy is recovered when water is released and turns turbines to generate electricity.

StarStarStarStar

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)

StarStarStarStar

Stores energy by using electricity to compress air in underground caverns; released air is heated and expanded through turbines to generate electricity.

StarStarStarStar

Lithium-Ion Batteries

StarStarStarStar

Rechargeable batteries used for portable electronics and electric vehicles; essential for storing energy from intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind.

StarStarStarStar

Flywheel Energy Storage

StarStarStarStar

Energy is stored in the rotational kinetic energy of a spinning flywheel; electricity is generated by decelerating the flywheel.

StarStarStarStar

Thermal Energy Storage

StarStarStarStar

Stores energy in the form of heat or cold, which can later be used for heating, cooling, or power generation.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

StarStarStarStar

Generate electricity through the chemical reaction of hydrogen with oxygen; hydrogen is produced from renewable sources and stored for later use.

StarStarStarStar

Solid-State Batteries

StarStarStarStar

A type of lithium battery that uses solid electrolytes instead of liquid; promises higher energy density and improved safety.

StarStarStarStar

Supercapacitors (Ultracapacitors)

StarStarStarStar

Energy storage devices that store energy electrostatically, capable of releasing energy rapidly.

StarStarStarStar

Nickel-Iron Batteries

StarStarStarStar

A type of rechargeable battery with a long lifespan, known for its durability and ability to withstand overcharge, overdischarge, and short-circuiting.

StarStarStarStar

Biochemical Energy Storage

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion, to convert organic material into biogas, a renewable energy source that can be stored and used for power generation.

StarStarStarStar

Mechanical Gravitational Storage

StarStarStarStar

Stores energy by elevating a mass; energy is recovered by lowering the mass and using the gravitational force to generate electricity.

StarStarStarStar

Concentrated Solar Power with Storage

StarStarStarStar

Uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight to heat a fluid and store thermal energy; the heat is later used to generate electricity via steam turbines.

StarStarStarStar

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES)

StarStarStarStar

Uses off-peak electricity to cool air until it liquefies; stored liquid air is expanded to drive turbines and generate electricity during peak demand.

StarStarStarStar

Redox Flow Batteries

StarStarStarStar

Energy storage system where energy is stored in liquid electrolyte solutions, which flow through a cell where chemical reactions occur to store or release energy.

StarStarStarStar

Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

StarStarStarStar

A type of redox flow battery that uses vanadium ions in different oxidation states for charging and discharging.
