Bulk Energy Storage (BES)
Off-Peak electric large volume storage (Significant capacity in mwh) longer period of storage but with higher cost Examples: Pumped storage hydro (PSH) Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)
Distributed energy storage Usually small in size and smaller energy storage capacity, short period of
storage with lower voltage when it comes to transmission and distribution with lower capital cost than BES
Examples: Batteries Flywheels Capacitors

Storing Energy (molecular level)
1. Selecting a suitable substance
2. Creating identical copy of the internal structure via software simulation
3. Experimenting (molecular scale) using the above software
4. Replicating the same experiment on the actual sample (nano-scale)
Two Methodologies

Is it the right time to invest in
Energy Storage?

Conclusion1. There is an urgent ‘need’ for energy storage
2. Renewable energy3. Forecasting for energy demand is unpredictable
4. Grid reliability 5. During low demand (e.g. at night) energy stored
6. Smart grid7. Reduction in cost for power stations (reduction
in annual peaking requirements)
