One grid energy storage method is to use off-peak or renewably generated electricity to compress air, which is usually stored in an old mine or some other kind of geological feature. When electricity demand is high, the compressed air is heated with a small amount of natural gas and then goes through turboexpanders to generate electricity.
An alternative concept for thermo-mechanical energy storage is based on heat transformation. According to Fig. 1 (left), electricity W mech is used to increase the enthalpy of Q low taken from a low temperature reservoir during the charging cycle. After transformation, the heat Q high is transferred to a reservoir/thermal storage. During
For example, enhancing the storage capacity requires no extra investments for power components (e.g., electrical heaters, heat exchangers) but only larger tank units filled with salt. Hence, for a given thermal power, the increase in investment costs for additional storage capacity is relatively small. (PtGtP) is a major concept for large

The choice of storage duration will depend on the specific application and the customer''s energy needs. For example, a residential ESS may require only a few hours of storage capacity to provide backup power during a grid outage, while a utility-scale ESS may require several days of storage capacity to support a large renewable energy project.
In contrast to these PTES concepts, the Compressed Heat Energy STorage (CHEST) concept presented in this paper is based on a medium temperature conventional Rankine cycle combined with a latent heat storage unit according to the current state of the art.

Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric energy storage. It is a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water moves down from one to the other (discharge), passing through a turbine. The system also requires power as it pumps water back into the upper reservoir (recharge).
