Energy storage systems capture and hold energy for later use by shifting when and how electricity supply and demand are balanced. They're charged using electricity from the power grid during periods of low demand or extra capacity.
Battery energy storage systems that suck up cheap power during periods of low demand, then discharge it at a profit during periods of high demand, are considered critical with the rise of intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar.
