INTRODUCTION TO ENERGY

STORAGE TECHNOLOGY
• Energy storage refers to
INTRODUCTION capturing energy for later use
to ensure a continuous and
• efficient power supply.
Energy storage technology is
critical for bridging the gap
between energy supply and
demand, particularly in the
context of increasing
renewable energy integration
and the need for grid
stability..It covers an extensive
array of techniques and
systems that store energy for
later use.
Prevents power outages and
enhances resilience.

2.Renewable Energy Integration:


Overcomes intermittency of solar
WHY ENERGY and wind power.

STORAGE IS 3.Peak Load Management:


Reduces stress on the power grid
IMPORTANT? by storing excess energy.

4.Cost Savings: Reduces electricity


costs by shifting consumption to
off-peak hours.

5.Energy Access: Enables


electrification in remote and off-
grid locations.

6.Backup Power: Provides reliable


power during emergencies or
outages.
TYPES OF
ENERGY
STORAGE
TECHNOLOGIE
S
• Pumped Hydroelectric Storage:
Uses excess electricity to pump water
uphill. Later releases it to generate
power.

• Compressed Air Energy Storage


(CAES): Stores compressed air in
underground caverns. Expands the MECHANICAL
air to generate electricity when
needed. ENERGY
• Flywheel Energy Storage: Uses
rotational energy storage. Provides
STORAGE
fast response and high efficiency.

• Applications: Grid balancing,


backup power, renewable energy
integration.
ILLUSTRATION OF PUMPED HYDROELECTRIC
STORAGE
• Supercapacitors: Store electrical
energy in an electric field. Capable of
rapid charge and discharge. They excel
in applications needing quick power
bursts, like regenerative braking and
short-term backup, but have lower ELECTRICAL
ENERGY
energy density than batteries.

• Superconducting Magnetic Energy


Storage (SMES): Stores energy in a
magnetic field generated by a
STORAGE
superconducting coil cooled to
extremely low temperatures.. SMES
systems offer high power density, fast
response times, and high efficiency,
making them suitable for grid
stabilization. Highly efficient but
expensive.

• Applications: Used in uninterruptible


power supplies (UPS), power quality
management, and rapid energy
discharge applications.
• Batteries:
Store energy in chemical form and release
it via electrochemical reactions.

Lithium-ion: High energy density, used in


EVs and electronics.
CHEMICAL
Lead-acid: Cost-effective, widely used in ENERGY
backup power systems.

Flow batteries: Scalable, suitable for grid

energy storage.

• Hydrogen Fuel Cells:


Convert hydrogen into electricity,
producing water as the only byproduct.

• Applications: Used in
transportation and industrial
applications.
• Sensible Heat Storage: Uses
materials like water or molten salts to
store heat.

• Latent Heat Storage: Uses phase


change materials (PCMs) for efficient
heat absorption/release. THERMAL
• Thermochemical Storage: Stores ENERGY
energy in reversible chemical
reactions. STORAGE
• Applications: Industrial heating,
solar thermal power plants, district
heating.
