Liquid Air Storage
Liquid air storage converts excess electricity into liquid air, which can then be released to make electricity.
Chemical Storage
Large batteries can act as chemical energy storage for industry and could make future energy generation solutions more efficient and profitable.
Hydrogen Storage
Spare electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis, which can then be combusted to produce power when needed.
Super Capacitors
A super capacitor works much like a battery, but instead of using a chemical reaction to create a flow of electrons it simply temporarily stores them.
Compressed Air Energy Storage
Spare Electricity within the grid is used to compress and store air under pressure, which can then be released on demand to make electricity.
Flywheel Energy Storage
A flywheel can be viewed as a mechanical battery because it converts electrical energy into kinetic energy, which can be converted back when needed.
Pumped Storage
Pumped storage involves pumping water up hill when there is excess electricity; this water can then be released at any moment to produce electricity.
