Pumped-storage is a common type of energy storage. Hydroelectric power is generally used to store excess grid power. Electricity from the grid is often used to pump water up into a tank or lake when demand is low. Water is permitted to flow from an upper reservoir to a lower reservoir when demand spikes.

For water/ice storage systems, a method based on the use of electrical conductivity sensors was applied [5][6] [7]. The thickness of the growing ice layer on the heat exchanger surface can be seen

Ice storage air conditioning is the process of using ice for thermal energy storage. The process can reduce energy used for cooling during times of peak electrical demand. Alternative power sources such as solar can also use the technology to store energy for later use. This is practical because of water''s large heat of fusion: one metric ton of water (one cubic metre) can store 334 megajoules (MJ

Temperatures can be hottest during these times, and people who work daytime hours get home and begin using electricity to cool their homes, cook, and run appliances. Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn''t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid.
