When the ES is processed in supercapacitors, it is also known as electrochemical storage, which could be in the form of electrochemical capacitors, ultra-capacitors, or electric double-layer capacitors . It has more attention in [1, 36].
However, in addition to the old changes in the range of devices, several new ESTs and storage systems have been developed for sustainable, RE storage, such as 1) power flow batteries, 2) super-condensing systems, 3) superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), and 4) flywheel energy storage (FES).
Mechanical method The mechanical ES method is used to store energy across long distances. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) and pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) are the most modern techniques. To store power, mechanical ES bridles movement or gravity.
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES): A high-pressure external power supply is used to pump air into a big reservoir. The CAES is a large-capacity ESS. It has a large storage capacity and can be started rapidly (usually 10 min). CAES installation necessitates unique geological conditions. There are restrictions in place all around the world.
