What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

Energy storage enables electricity production at one time to be stored and used later to meet peak demand. The document then summarizes different types of energy storage technologies including batteries, mechanical storage, compressed air, pumped hydro, hydrogen, and flywheels.

What is thermal energy storage system (TESS)?

ECpE Department • Thermal energy storage systems (TESS) store energy in the form of heat for later use in electricity generation or other heating purposes. • Depending on the operating temperature, TESS can be categorized into two groups: low-temperature (<200 °C) TESS and high-temperature TESS.
