Energy storage technologies have the potential to reduce energy waste, ensure reliable energy access, and build a more balanced energy system. Over the last few decades, advancements in efficiency, cost, and capacity have made electrical and mechanical energy storage devices more affordable and accessible.
Energy storage technologies can be classified according to storage duration, response time, and performance objective. However, the most commonly used ESSs are divided into mechanical, chemical, electrical, and thermochemical energy storage systems according to the form of energy stored in the reservoir (Fig. 3) [, , , ].
Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today. Of the remaining 4% of capacity, the largest technology shares are molten salt (33%) and lithium-ion batteries (25%). Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market.
Energy storage and utilization could be revolutionized by new technology. It has the potential to assist satisfy future energy demands at a cheaper cost and with a lower carbon impact, in accordance with the Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) and the Paris Agreement.
For energy storage technologies to be used more widely by commercial and residential consumers, research should focus on making them more scalable and affordable. Energy storage is a crucial component of the global energy system, necessary for maintaining energy security and enabling a steadfast supply of energy.
To meet these gaps and maintain a balance between electricity production and demand, energy storage systems (ESSs) are considered to be the most practical and efficient solutions. ESSs are designed to convert and store electrical energy from various sales and recovery needs [, , ].
