Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the that for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from such as and inflexible sources like, releasing it when needed. They further provide, such as helping to.

Hybrid systems, as the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security through the mix of generation methods, and often will incorporate a storage system (battery, ) or small fossil fueled generator to ensure maximum supply reliability and security.
