Although using energy storage is never 100% efficient—some energy is always lost in converting energy and retrieving it—storage allows the flexible use of energy at different times from when it was generated. So, storage can increase system efficiency and resilience, and it can improve power quality by matching supply and demand.
Chemical energy storage systems (CESSs) Chemical energy is put in storage in the chemical connections between atoms and molecules. This energy is released during chemical reactions and the old chemical bonds break and new ones are developed. And therefore the material''s composition is changed [9]. Some CESS types …
