• Energy storage — is the storing of some form of energy that can be drawn upon at a later time to perform some useful operation. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator. All forms of energy are either potential energy (eg. chemical,… …   Wikipedia

• Compressed air energy storage — Conceptual representation of the compressed air energy storage concept. Off peak (low cost) electrical power compresses air into an underground air storage “vessel” (the Norton mine), and later the air feeds a gas fired turbine generator complex… …   Wikipedia

• Compressed-air energy storage — (CAES) refers to the compression of airto be used later as energy source. At utility scale, it can be stored during periods of low energy demand (off peak), for use in meeting periods of higher demand (peak load). Alternatively it can be used to… …   Wikipedia

• Thermal energy storage —   The storage of heat energy during utility off peak times at night, for use during the next day without incurring daytime peak electric rates.   U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy Information Administration s Energy Glossary …   Energy terms

• Thermal (energy) Storage —   A technology that lowers the amount of electricity needed for comfort conditioning during utility peak load periods. A buildings thermal energy storage system might, for example, use off peak power to make ice or to chill water at night, later… …   Energy terms

• Flywheel energy storage — NASA G2 flywheel Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel s rotational speed… …   Wikipedia

• Peak demand — is used to refer to a historically high point in the sales record of a particular product. In terms of energy use, peak demand describes a period of strong consumer demand. Contents 1 Peak load 1.1 Off peak 1.2 Response …   Wikipedia

• Storage heater — A storage heater is an electrical appliance which stores heat at a time when base load electricity is available at a low price, usually during the night, and releases it during the day. Heat is usually stored in clay bricks or other ceramic… …   Wikipedia
