Abstract:

In our country, the limited reserves of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, and environmental and social restrictions have increased the orientation to renewable energy sources. As industry and technology develop, energy continuity becomes very important to ensure the sustainability of modern life and the continuity of production. When using renewable energy sources, storage technologies play a very important role in minimizing power generation interruptions and in the distribution of these systems. Energy appears in many forms, including radiative energy, chemical energy, gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy, electrical energy, thermal energy, latent heat energy, and kinetic energy. The purpose of energy storage should be ready to be used whenever and wherever desired. Energy storage involves converting energy from forms that are difficult to store to forms that are easier or cheaper to store. Energy storage ensures that it responds quickly and reliably to different energy requirements throughout the day. Energy storage technology; It is a technology with great potential as it improves power systems, contributes to renewable energy production and offers an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. There are many different storage methods of energy. There are many different forms of energy storage methods. For example, biological storage, chemical storage, thermal storage, electrical storage, potential energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy etc. In this study, chemical, mechanical, electrochemical, thermal and electrical energy storage methods, which are the main energy storage methods, are discussed. It is thought that this study will contribute to the literature in terms of previous studies and standards. As a result of the research, it has been seen that electrochemical energy storage technologies are most commonly used.
