STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES
Energy Storage – used to store and regenerate power for peak shaving and to even out generation fluctuations created by fluctuations in the resource being exploited
Allows greater use of intermittent renewable energy technologies – off-peak wind, solar, ocean wave, tidal power are stored in batteries, pumped storage hydro or stored hydrogen from electrolysis of water.

Hydrogen Energy
The file (91 KB) will cover the following topics:
HYDROGEN ENERGY
Hydrogen – 3rd most abundant element on earth’s surface; found primarily in water [H2O] and organic compounds and generally produced from hydrocarbons thru reforming and water thru electrolysis.
When burned as fuel or converted to electricity, it joins with oxygen [O2] again to form water.
