Energy storage in power stations offers numerous advantages, enhancing overall system performance while contributing to grid stability. One significant benefit is the ability to respond quickly to fluctuations in energy demand. Hydro storage utilizes gravitational potential energy, allowing water to be pumped uphill during low demand and released for electricity generation during peak periods. This survey paper offers an overview on potential energy storage solutions for addressing grid challenges following a "system-component-system" approach. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources. . Energy storage is vital in the evolving energy landscape, helping to utilize renewable sources effectively and ensuring a stable power supply. With rising demand for reliable energy solutions, it is essential to understand the different types and benefits of energy storage.
