Energy storage is a technology that holds energy at one time so it can be used at another time. Building more energy storage allows renewable energy sources like wind and solar to power more of our electric grid.

With energy storage, we can capture electricity during times of low demand and return it to the grid during periods of greater need. Convenient and economical energy storage can: Increase grid flexibility. Simplify the integration of distributed generation and electric vehicles. Improve power quality. Limit periods of asset overload.

Grid energy storage (also called large-scale energy storage) is a collection of methods used for energy storage on a large scale within an electrical power grid. Electrical energy is stored during times when electricity is plentiful and inexpensive (especially from intermittent power sources such as renewable electricity from wind power, tidal

Energy storage technologies with longer durations of 10 to 100 h could enable a grid with more renewable power, if the appropriate cost structure and performance—capital costs for power and energy, round-trip efficiency, self-discharge, etc.—can be realized. Although current technologies such as lithium-ion batteries are

Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859). It is made up of two electrodes (a metallic sponge lead anode and a lead dioxide as a cathode, as shown in Fig. 34) immersed in an electrolyte made up of 37% sulphuric acid and 63% water.
