Electrical Energy Storage is a process of converting electrical energy into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed (McLarnon and Cairns, 1989; Ibrahim et al., 2008 ). In this section, a technical comparison between the different types of energy storage systems is carried out.
This is an overview of six energy storage methods available today. 1. Solid-state batteries Batteries are the most commonly understood form of energy storage. Solid-state batteries, which includes lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, are energy dense. Lithium-ion batteries have superior energy density compared to lead-acid batteries.

On the other hand, a high ratio of the electricity load of distributed energy systems comes from the air conditioner for meeting heat or cold load (e.g. in a commercial building), while the storage device prices of heat and cold are far cheaper than batteries [[18], [19], [20]].].
At present, in response to the call of the green and renewable energy industry, electrical energy storage systems have been vigorously developed and supported. Electrochemical energy storage systems are mostly comprised of energy storage batteries, which have outstanding advantages such as high energy density and high energy conversion …
Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859). It is made up of two electrodes (a metallic sponge lead anode and a lead dioxide as a cathode, as shown in Fig. 34) immersed in an electrolyte made up of 37% sulphuric acid and 63% water.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are considered an efficient energy technology but can discharge electricity for shorter periods of time than other storage methods.

When solar energy is pumped into a battery, a chemical reaction among the battery components stores the energy. The reaction is reversed when the battery is discharged, allowing current to exit the battery. Lithium-ion batteries are most commonly used in solar applications, and new battery technology is expanding rapidly, which promises to ...
As of 2018, the energy storage system is still gradually increasing, with a total installed grid capacity of 175 823 MW [ 30 ].
