The collection of techniques and technologies used to store energy is known as an energy storage system. The energy that has been stored can be used later to carry out beneficial tasks.
For instance, many renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, or tides, are sporadic. When the energy is accessible, the use of renewable energy is sometimes indirect, but there are other occasions as well. So that energy can be used when needed, we also need energy storage.
There are many different types of energy, including kinetic, chemical, gravitational potential, increased temperature, and latent and sensible heat.
There are numerous ways and technologies for storing different types of energy. Applications, costs, system integration, and the availability of resources often determine the energy storage technology to be used.
Energy storage devices are also used to transform energy into more usable or cost-effective forms from difficult-to-store forms.
