What Is Energy Storage?Advantages of Combining Storage and SolarTypes of Energy StoragePumped-Storage HydropowerElectrochemical StorageThermal Energy StorageFlywheel StorageCompressed Air StorageSolar FuelsVirtual StorageEnergy can also be stored by changing how we use the devices we already have. For example, by heating or cooling a building before an anticipated peak of electrical demand, the building can “store” that thermal energy so it doesn''t need to consume electricity later in the day. The building itself is acting as a thermos by storing cool or warm air.See more on energy.govnrel.gov[PDF]
