Energy storage
Keys for a more sustainable future
In a world in full development of technologies related to renewable energies, progress in electrical energy storage systems plays a fundamental role. This development accompanies the promotion of sustainable energy sources and makes it possible to optimize the use of each megawatt generated, contributing to the balance of grid systems.
What is energy storage?
The process of storing energy has a fundamental purpose: to capture and retain it for future use.
Energy storage is essential to support the efficiency of renewable energies and ensure their maximum utilization in energy systems. Key functions in terms of energy storage include:
Energy storage systems
Energy storage systems are essential for energy management in a variety of applications, from household appliances to large-scale energy generation.
As well as improving the stability of the power grid, energy storage systems contribute to the efficient management of charging and discharging, which reduces transmission and distribution losses.
When users store energy, they can be an active part of distributed generation. Instead of relying only on large, distant power plants, there are now several nearby points that generate power, such as solar panels on nearby buildings. By storing excess energy, either from renewable sources or during periods of cheaper electricity rates, consumers can harness that stored energy. This reduces direct dependence on the conventional power grid and encourages greater energy independence.

Other ways of storing electrical energy
Water electrolysis, a process that separates water into oxygen and hydrogen using electricity, is key when using renewable energy. On days with excess renewable energy, this electrolysis harnesses that surplus to produce hydrogen. This hydrogen is stored and used when more energy is needed, creating an efficient solution for managing peak energy production and demand.
Energy storage in decarbonization
In our firm commitment to the decarbonization of society, we recognize that energy storage plays an essential role in the transition to a more sustainable and highly efficient energy system.
At Repsol, we strive to align our operations with more environmentally friendly practices. We work to create energy plans that adapt to the needs of consumers and maximize the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.
