New article on Techpiece: Energy Storage

Yet another new article on Techpiece on energy storage:

The problem with storing energy in different forms is the conversion losses that occur and these are simply known as the efficiency of the devices. So, what makes a particularly storage technology appealing? As always, many factors play their role and some are values more than others. A few characteristics that are vital include rating, size, weight and costs. Ultimately, it needs to be able to meet the particular demand need. For normal electronics devices, batteries are used to give out stable output of a known amount of electricity. However, for electricity storage used to serve electrical loads in a district or country, high discharge of energy is needed at times and at other times, a stable discharge of low levels of electricity might be needed. Therefore, it is vital to choose a storage that has the capabilities to do so.

It does take time to write these articles, therefore the turnaround is pretty slow. If you have any comments to make, feel free to do so at techpiece!
