Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today. Of the remaining 4% of capacity, the largest technology shares are molten salt (33%) and lithium-ion batteries (25%). Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market.
Electrical energy storage is a collection of methods used to store electrical energy. Electrical energy is stored during times when production (especially from intermittent sources such as wind power, tidal power, solar power ) exceeds consumption, and returned to the grid when production falls below consumption.
