Energy and Storage

 Technology continues to develop rapidly in many sectors for different purposes. Sometimes this is to make our work, our lives easier, to reach a more comfortable life, and sometimes to support the sustainable environment.


Although these developments are in very different fields and purposes, it would not be wrong to say that the common point that they all need in their development and application is the energy need.




As a rule of physics, energy is not lost but changes form. Therefore, energy can be found in different forms all over the world. The important thing is that energy can be found everywhere and always in a usable form. The invention of electricity is revolutionary in this respect. The easiest energy storage and transmission form known today is electricity. Although the transmission of the generated electricity through distribution has been developed and expanded today, it is not yet independent of the cable system. Especially recently, applications that are independent of location, wireless, ready to use anywhere and anytime have come to the fore. Now, we define it as a need to stay online all the time while taking our phones with us to the other side of the world. This means that electrical energy is also portable, always needed and ubiquitous. Therefore, we can say that energy storage solutions independent of city grids and production have become a necessity.




There are two critical main topics in energy generation and transmission, which I tried to explain above. First, electrical energy is mostly not used where it is produced, and second, the consumption requirement is not always at the same level and stable. We know that many different energy storage systems have been developed as a solution. Different technological solutions have different features according to their usage areas due to their energy storage capacities, power densities, physical structures and environmental conditions. It is possible to compare different technologies from each other in the table below.
