Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.

A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of technology that uses a group of in the grid to store . Battery storage is the fastest responding on , and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition fr.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor () and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel. W.

As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate , which stores energy either in the form of or as (for example, using ), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night. This makes CSP a form of solar. Dispatchable is particularl.
