Electrochemical energy storage systems (EESS) can be classified into three categories: Batteries, electrochemical capacitors and fuel cells. Battery Energy Storage (BESS) is similar to the miniature accumulators in the devices we use every day: they turn a chemical reaction into electrical. .
Thermal energy storage (TES) has been described as a “game-changing technology.” It’s based on the idea of storing heat (captured by solar panels, or heat pumps) for later. .
Chemical storage refers mainly to hydrogen, which can be produced from renewable energy, but also from nuclear power, and fossil fuels. Converting energy from those sources into chemical forms creates high-energy density fuel. Hydrogen can be. .
Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces. Examples include Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) and Compressed Air. .
