Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential
Pumped-storage plants are the most affordable and proven means of large-scale energy storage, and they account for 97.5% of energy-storage capacity installed on global power grids, according to
The energy may be used directly for heating and cooling, or it can be used to generate electricity. In thermal energy storage systems intended for electricity, the heat is used to boil water. The resulting steam drives a turbine and produces electrical power using the same equipment that is used in conventional electricity generating stations
However, the disadvantages of using li-ion batteries for energy storage are multiple and quite well documented. The performance of li-ion cells degrades over time, limiting their storage capability. Issues and concerns have also been raised over the recycling of the batteries, once they no longer can fulfil their storage capability, as well as

Energy storage is a valuable tool for balancing the grid and integrating more renewable energy. When energy demand is low and production of renewables is high, the excess energy can be stored for later use. When demand for energy or power is high and supply is low, the stored energy can be discharged. Due to the hourly, seasonal, and locational
