Storage station
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005684
A facility within an electrical grid designed for large-scale energy storage, allowing electricity to be saved for later use. These stations absorb excess power during periods of low demand and release it back into the grid when demand is high, improving grid stability and reliability. Common technologies include pumped-storage hydropower, compressed air energy storage, and large battery installations like those using lithium-ion cells.
