Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
The storage of thermal energy is a central component here, since the availability and use of thermal energy can be separated from each other in terms of both time and location. Thermal energy storage can be used to provide heat, but also for the important application areas of cooling and air conditioning.
