The molten salt energy storage system is available in two configurations: two-tank direct and indirect storage systems. A direct storage system uses molten salt as both the heat transfer fluid (absorbing heat from the reactor or heat exchanger) and the heat storage fluid, whereas an indirect system uses a separate medium to store the heat.

Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational . The Huntorf plant was initially developed as a load balancer for fossil-fuel-generated electricity
