Energy storage
Electrical and thermal storage technologies that shift energy in time, manage peaks and support flexibility.
Technologies in this category
Commercial battery energy storage (BESS)
Grid-connected battery systems sized for commercial and industrial sites to shift load and manage peaks.
Lithium-ion storage
The most widely deployed battery chemistry family for commercial storage applications.
LFP storage
Lithium iron phosphate batteries, favoured for thermal stability and cycle life in stationary applications.
Sodium-ion storage
An emerging battery chemistry using abundant sodium rather than lithium.
Flow batteries
Electrolyte-based batteries where power and energy capacity scale independently, suited to long-duration cycling.
Thermal energy storage
Storing energy as heat or cold for later use in processes, heating or cooling.
Heat batteries
Compact thermal stores, often phase-change based, used to decouple heat generation from heat demand.
Long-duration energy storage
Storage technologies designed to discharge over many hours or days rather than minutes.
Liquid-air energy storage
Energy stored by liquefying air and released by re-expanding it through a turbine.
Compressed-air energy storage
Energy stored as compressed air and recovered through expansion.
Flywheel storage
Kinetic storage used for very short duration, high-cycle power quality and frequency applications.
