Energy terms . 2014.
Energy storage — is the storing of some form of energy that can be drawn upon at a later time to perform some useful operation. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator. All forms of energy are either potential energy (eg. chemical,… … Wikipedia

Battery Energy Storage — Energy storage using electrochemical batteries. The three main applications for battery energy storage systems include spinning reserve at generating stations, load leveling at substations, and peak shaving on the customer side of the meter … Energy terms
Thermal (energy) Storage — A technology that lowers the amount of electricity needed for comfort conditioning during utility peak load periods. A buildings thermal energy storage system might, for example, use off peak power to make ice or to chill water at night, later… … Energy terms
Thermal energy storage — The storage of heat energy during utility off peak times at night, for use during the next day without incurring daytime peak electric rates. U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy Information Administration s Energy Glossary … Energy terms
Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage — (SMES) SMES technology uses the superconducting characteristics of low temperature materials to produce intense magnetic fields to store energy. SMES has been proposed as a storage option to support large scale use of photovoltaics and wind as… … Energy terms
Thermal Energy Storage — The storage of heat energy during utility off peak times at night, for use during the next day without incurring daytime peak electric rates … Energy terms
Grid energy storage — is used to manage the flow of electrical energy. For large scale load levelling on an interconnected electrical system, electric energy producers send low value off peak excess electricity over the electricity transmission grid to temporary… … Wikipedia
Flywheel energy storage — NASA G2 flywheel Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel s rotational speed… … Wikipedia
Compressed-air energy storage — (CAES) refers to the compression of airto be used later as energy source. At utility scale, it can be stored during periods of low energy demand (off peak), for use in meeting periods of higher demand (peak load). Alternatively it can be used to… … Wikipedia
