Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time [1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential ...
1. Risk-based Inspections (RBI) Sometimes also known as a risk and reliability assessment. It prioritizes examining pipes, pressure vessels, and other high-risk parts of the storage tank system. The process starts with risk analysis, where you assess the history of failures and defects of your storage tanks.
