Most of the review papers in energy storage highlight these technologies in details, however; there remains limited information on the real life application of these technologies for energy storage purpose.
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
BESTs are increasingly deployed, so critical challenges with respect to safety, cost, lifetime, end-of-life management and temperature adaptability need to be addressed. Energy-storage technologies are needed to support electrical grids as the penetration of renewables increases.
Other technologies such as NaS, NaNiCl2, flow batteries, Li-ion SMES, flywheel, supercapacitors are also developed and are commercially available but mainly in demonstration projects. Their application for large-scale energy storage is highly uncommon. HES, Zn-Air battery are in the developing stage with few demonstration plants in operation.
These technologies are regarded as electrical energy storage technologies and can be grouped as follows: mechanical energy storage, chemical energy storage, electrochemical (supercapacitor energy storage, battery energy storage), superconducting magnetic energy storage and thermal energy storage. 4.1.1. Mechanical Energy Storage (MES)
This type of application requires an electrical energy storage technology which should be able to response quickly and devoid of any energy intensive auxiliary equipment.
