What on Earth is Energy Storage?

Mark Nelson, managing director of the Radiant Energy Group, joins us for the third installation of his masterclass series, this time all about energy storage. The ability to store electricity for later use can improve our ability to match supply with demand. Deployed at a large enough scale, it can fill in valleys and smooth out peaks, creating a more manageable grid. But electricity itself must be used the instant it is generated, so how can we go about storing it for later? Mark explains the basic of energy storage, corrects common misconceptions, and gives a numerically literate overview of a few different energy storage technologies.
