Energy Storage Overview Generating clean and reliable electricity is a key goal for the UK and advances in energy technology promise to bring a step change in the way we generate and/or store electricity. There is a rising demand to deliver increased energy security in turn increasing the possibilities for renewable energy and creating a more flexible system and decarbonised grid. Woking Power Station Thermal Stores Drone Video Types of Energy Storage Battery Storage Battery Storage systems can connect to any method of electrical generation and are charged up by any unused energy. They then store the energy in a similar way to a regular household rechargeable battery to be used at a later point in time to provide an instant source of electricity. The benefits are that energy is stored and not rejected or lost, it can be released at high use periods to reduce peak demands and the release of energy can be timed with high tariff periods to maximise returns. It is ‘clean’ energy and overall can increase the efficiencies of your energy scheme. This is a rapidly evolving technology with planned schemes having a wide range of storage capacities.
