To address the challenge of mismatches between wind power generation and electricity demand, energy storage systems are used. Wind turbines transform the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which can be stored in lead batteries. Batteries on a large scale can store extra energy that wind turbines make and then release it when demand is high or wind speeds are low. Some newer turbine models are starting to experiment with battery storage, but it's not very common yet. This capability is crucial for balancing supply and demand. . To effectively store wind energy, we can employ various advanced technologies, each suited for specific applications. Lithium-ion batteries are favored for their high energy density, typically ranging from 150 to 250 Wh/kg, with over 90% efficiency.
