energy storage

**energy storage**

Energy storage refers to the process of capturing energy produced at one time for use at a later time. This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of energy systems by balancing supply and demand, integrating renewable energy sources, and providing backup power. Common types of energy storage include batteries, pumped hydro, thermal storage, and flywheels. In the context of renewable energy, energy storage helps address the intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind, ensuring a steady and stable electricity supply.
