Energy Storage
Energy storage can be described in two ways: power capacity and energy capacity. Power capacity is a measure of a system''s maximum rated output, expressed in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW).
10.2 Key Metrics and Definitions for Energy Storage
Energy density is often used to compare different energy storage technologies. This parameter relates the storage capacity to the size or the mass of the system, essentially showing how much energy
