INDEX
3. ❏ Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be saved in
various forms.
❏ One way to store it is in the form of chemical energy in a battery.
When connected in a circuit, energy stored in the battery is
released to produce electricity.
❏ Energy can also be stored in many other ways.
❏ Batteries
❏ Gasoline
❏ Natural gas
It can be transferred into other kinds of energy.
Can energy be stored?
4. Energy storage
Storage in different energies
CHEMICAL ENERGY
In chemical reactions,
energy is produced,
and it can be saved or
absorbed by chemical
systems as light
bulbs, cells, bombs
and batteries.
ELECTRICAL
ENERGY
All energies can be
transformed to produce
electricity. Electricity is
most often generated
at power stations, but
there are other ways
such as solar
photovoltaics an
geothermal power.
LATENT HEAT
Is energy released
released or absorbed by
a body or a
thermodynamic system,
during a constant
temperature process. An
example can be ice
melting or water boiling.
There is energy stored in
each change or reaction.
KINETIC ENERGY
Is the energy that an
object has due to its
movement. Once the
body has energy during
the acceleration, it
maintains its energy
5. ● Electricity can’t be stored in long-terms, but there are
some kinds of storage(of short-terms) like batteries,
but they present some disadvantages that make its use
limited(high cost, dangerous materials such as acid).
● There is also a problem with its production because
there are not always the same conditions to produce
electricity by solar photovoltaics, geothermal power,
etc. We cannot save it.
Electrical energy
6. ● Mechanical storage:Energy can be stored in
water pumped to a higher elevation using pumped
storage.
● Thermal storage: An example of the storage of
"cold" heat removal for later use is ice made during the
cooler night time hours for use during the hot daylight
hours. This ice storage is produced when electrical
efficiency rates are lower.
