Applications of energy storage Energy storage is an enabling technology for various applications such as power peak shaving, renewable energy utilization, enhanced building energy systems, and advanced transportation. Energy storage systems can be categorized according to application.
An energy storage system can provide relevant support to the electrical system for the integration of renewable energy sources. This application is quite common and it is one of the main applications already operated by traditional pumped-storage hydroelectric plants.
For example, some reviews focus only on energy storage types for a given application such as those for utility applications. Other reviews focus only on electrical energy storage systems without reporting thermal energy storage types or hydrogen energy systems and vice versa.
The earliest grid-scale energy storage technology is pumped hydroelectric storage, introduced to the grid in the 1930s. Significant capacity growth has continued since, and pumped hydro is still the dominant technology in energy storage on a capacity basis.
To assess the technical performance of various energy storage types, design parameters such as efficiency, energy capacity, energy density, run time, capital investment costs, response time, lifetime in years and cycles, self-discharge and maturity are often considered [149, 150, 152].
An overview and critical review is provided of available energy storage technologies, including electrochemical, battery, thermal, thermochemical, flywheel, compressed air, pumped, magnetic, chemical and hydrogen energy storage. Storage categorizations, comparisons, applications, recent developments and research directions are discussed.
