Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive review and analysis of modern energy storage systems (ESS), which play a crucial role in stabilizing power grids under the growing share of renewable energy sources. The study covers the main storage technologies: mechanical (pumped hydro storage, flywheels, gravity-based systems), chemical (hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic fuels), electrochemical (lithium-ion, sodium-ion, redox-flow batteries), electromagnetic (supercapacitors, SMES), thermal, and cryogenic (LAES). For each group, technical and economic parameters are analyzed, including round-trip efficiency, energy density, cycle life, service life, specific cost, environmental safety, and recycling aspects. Special attention is given to real-world implementation cases and future development prospects. The research identifies optimal application areas: mechanical and cryogenic systems for long-term, large-scale storage; electrochemical systems for medium-term balancing and mobile use; electromagnetic systems for instantaneous regulation; and thermal storage for centralized heating networks. It is emphasized that the future of energy systems lies in hybrid storage solutions, harmonized technical standards, and economic incentives for innovative technologies. The results can be applied to national and local energy strategies to ensure efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of modern power systems. Ref. 34, tables 2.
