As wind and solar energy production grows, increasing energy storage is imperative to keep the lights shining and almost 90% of installed global energy storage capacity in the form of pumped storage hydropower (PSH). That is well ahead of lithium-ion and other energy storage types. This stored heat can later be used for heating, cooling, or power generation. Here's how it works: Materials Used: From water to molten salts or even rocks, these materials absorb heat. .
