A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Energy storage is crucial for integrating renewable energy sources into the electrical grid. By storing excess energy generated during peak production periods, such as sunny days or windy nights, energy storage systems can help balance supply and demand. This increased capacity enhances the reliability and resilience of the grid, especially during periods of high demand or when intermittent sources like solar and wind power are not producing. Additionally, energy storage can improve the efficiency of the grid by reducing the need for peak power plants, which are often less efficient and more polluting. As energy storage technology continues to advance, it will play an increasingly important role in shaping a sustainable energy future. A robust energy storage infrastructure is essential to support the transition to a clean energy economy.
