SECTION 2: ENERGY STORAGE FUNDAMENTALS
Capacity Units of capacity: Watt-hours (Wh) (Ampere-hours, Ah, for batteries) State of charge (SoC) The amount of energy stored in a device as a percentage of its total energy capacity

Storage capacity is the amount of energy extracted from an energy storage device or system; usually measured in joules or kilowatt-hours and their multiples, it may be given in number of hours of electricity production at power plant nameplate capacity; when storage is of primary type (i.e., thermal or pumped-water), output is sourced only with the power plant embedded storage system.
A metric of energy efficiency of storage is energy storage on energy invested (ESOI), which is the amount of energy that can be stored by a technology, divided by the amount of energy
Of the 1,643 operational energy storage projects worldwide, 49% are located in the U.S., with another 131 projects under construction. 10 California leads U.S. capacity with 15.5 GW,
Electricity generation capacity in energy storage systems can be measured in two ways: Power capacity, or the maximum amount of electricity that is generated continuously, is
The flexibility of energy storage devices can be played out by adjusting the flexibility of the Flexes portion of the energy storage device, at which point there is only one characteristic quantity
Storage capacity is typically measured in units of energy: kilowatt-hours (kWh), megawatt-hours (MWh), or megajoules (MJ). You will typically see capacities specified for a particular facility
Energy capacity —the total amount of energy that can be stored in or discharged from the storage system and is measured in units of watthours (kilowatthours [kWh], megawatthours [MWh], or
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States had more than 25 gigawatts of electrical energy storage capacity as of March 2018. Of that total, 94 percent was
Electricity storage capacity refers to the maximum amount of energy that a device can store, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Different storage
