A January 2023 snapshot of Germany''s energy production, broken down by energy source, illustrates a Dunkelflaute — a long period without much solar and wind energy (shown here in yellow and green, respectively). In the absence of cost-effective long-duration energy storage technologies, fossil fuels like gas, oil and coal (shown in orange, brown and
The purpose of Energy Storage Technologies (EST) is to manage energy by minimizing energy waste and improving energy efficiency in various processes [141]. During this process, secondary energy forms such as heat and electricity are stored, leading to a reduction in the consumption of primary energy forms like fossil fuels [ 142 ].
