Battery storage refers to the technology and systems used to store electrical energy in batteries for later use. This process involves charging batteries using electricity from various sources, such as renewable energy (like solar or wind), grid electricity, or other energy sources. The stored energy can be discharged back to the grid or used at a later time to power homes, businesses, or electric vehicles. Battery storage plays a critical role in energy management by enabling the balancing of supply and demand, improving energy reliability, and facilitating the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the energy grid. It also supports applications such as peak shaving, load shifting, and backup power during outages. Different types of batteries, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries, may be used in various storage systems, depending on the specific requirements for capacity, discharge rates, and duration of energy storage.
