You can store electricity in electrical batteries, or convert it into heat and stored in a heat battery. You can also store heat in thermal storage, such as a hot water cylinder. Energy storage can be useful if you already generate your own renewable energy, as it lets you use more of your low carbon energy.
Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.
If you have a renewable electricity generator like solar panels or a wind turbine, installing energy storage will save you money on your electricity bills. You need to weigh the potential savings against the cost of installation and how long the battery will last.
Energy storage systems let you capture heat or electricity when it’s readily available,. This kind of readily available energy is typically renewable energy. By storing it to use later, you make more use of renewable energy sources and are less reliant on fossil fuels. Let’s look at how they work and what the different types of energy storage are.
