Energy storage and conversion technologies: Current trends, environmental impacts, and future directions
Authors

Abstract
Energy systems are constantly evolving due to
advancements in technology, changing demand, costs, environmental impacts, and
the availability of alternative energy sources. Traditionally, energy
generation relied heavily on fossil fuels; however, there is a shift towards
modern technologies that emphasize renewable resources such as wind and solar
energy. As population growth, economic development, and increased per capita
energy consumption fuel rising energy demands, consumers are facing higher
energy prices. Traditional energy sources are struggling to keep up with this
increasing demand, driven by the growing use of devices like computers and
mobile phones. Various energy storage solutions, including thermoelectric
storage (TES), compressed air energy storage (CAES), flow batteries,
superconducting pumped hydro storage (PHS), and hybrid energy storage (HES),
have been explored. The extraction of raw materials for these energy storage
systems can have diverse effects on human health, while different energy
storage technologies can also impact climate change in various ways. The social
implications of integrated energy storage facilities in different regions are
under investigation. This comprehensive review could provide valuable insights
for various stakeholders in the energy industry. By enabling flexible
generation and stable electricity supply, energy storage can help meet consumer
expectations.
