  2. Energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage

    Storage capacity is the amount of energy extracted from an energy storage device or system; usually measured in joules or kilowatt-hours and their multiples, it may be given in number of hours of electricity production at power plant nameplate capacity; when storage is of primary type (i.e., thermal or pumped-water), output is sourced only with ...

  3. Leyden jar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar

    Musschenbroek's outlet in France for the sale of his company's 'cabinet' devices was the Abbé Nollet (who started building and selling duplicate instruments in 1735 [17]). Nollet then gave the electrical storage device the name "Leyden jar" and promoted it as a special type of flask to his market of wealthy men with scientific curiosity.

  4. Steam accumulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_accumulator

    A steam accumulator is an insulated steel pressure tank containing hot water and steam under pressure. It is a type of energy storage device. It can be used to smooth out peaks and troughs in demand for steam. Steam accumulators may take on a significance for energy storage in solar thermal energy projects.

  5. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. A PSH system stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.

  6. Accumulator (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulator_(energy)

    Some devices store a different form of energy than what they receive and deliver performing energy conversion on the way in and on the way out. Examples of accumulators include steam accumulators , mainsprings , flywheel energy storage , hydraulic accumulators , rechargeable batteries , capacitors , inductors , compensated pulsed alternators ...

  7. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    A steam accumulator consists of an insulated steel pressure tank containing hot water and steam under pressure. As a heat storage device, it is used to mediate heat production by a variable or steady source from a variable demand for heat. Steam accumulators may take on a significance for energy storage in solar thermal energy projects.
