How Energy Storage Works | Union of Concerned Scientists
Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Although almost all current energy storage capacity is in the form of pumped hydro and the

That means you need many hours of energy storage capacity (megawatt-hours) as well. The study also finds that this capacity substitution ratio declines as storage tries to displace more gas capacity. "The first gas plant knocked offline by storage may only run for a couple of hours, one or two times per year," explains Jenkins.
