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
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 — Conceptual representation of the compressed air energy storage concept. Off peak (low cost) electrical power compresses air into an underground air storage “vessel” (the Norton mine), and later the air feeds a gas fired turbine generator complex… … 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
