History of Energy Storage Systems: BatteriesAncient Battery Usage The first reference of the word “battery,” describing energy storage, was in 1749, when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity.
The first energy storage system was invented in 1859 by the French physicist Gaston Planté . He invented the lead-acid battery, based on galvanic cells made of a lead electrode, an electrode made of lead dioxide (PbO 2 ) and an approx. 37% aqueous solution of sulfuric acid acting as an electrolyte.
Energy storage (which is not only batteries) systems represent a set of technologies and methods that are used to store various forms of energy. Energy storage can be used to manage power supply, to create a resilient energy system and to bring cost savings to both prosumers and utilities.
