Storing energy

Description

Storing energy involves capturing surplus energy produced during periods of low demand and retaining it for use when demand is higher or supply is interrupted. This strategy ensures a reliable energy supply, stabilizes power grids, and mitigates the intermittency of renewable sources such as solar and wind. Practical methods include batteries, pumped hydro, and thermal storage, which help balance supply and demand, reduce energy waste, and enhance resilience against energy shortages or disruptions.
