It is very hard to store electricity efficiently. Batteries are expensive and inefficient.
One way to collect and store energy, is to use a reservoir behind a dam and use the stored water to drive turbines, when required.
In periods of excess generated electricity, pumps are used to put water into the reservoir, thus storing energy.

Do chloroplasts collect energy for the plant?
Yes, they do.
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
Where does the plant cell collect its energy?
I think plant cells have chloroplasts which take in light energy and converts it into carbohydrates by using photosynthesis
What is the meaning of hydro energy power plant?

What are the beginning and ending energies of a power plant?
The starting energy is anything that the power plant uses: nuclear energy, chemical energy, potential energy (for hydraulic plants), etc. The energy output is normally electrical energy.
What is the abundant energy source in Switzerland?
The hydro-electric power plant/water power plant
What type of energy transformation occurs in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is transformed into heat energy through nuclear fission. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. So, the energy transformation in a nuclear power plant is from nuclear energy to heat energy to electrical energy.
How is the international power station is powered?
Solar panels to collect the suns energy
How does a diesel power plant works?
A diesel powerplant uses the diesel power cycle for energy generation. A diesel power plant is one using a diesel engine to run a generator coupled to it. A generator produces power when it rotates.
Is a nuclear power plant an example of kinetic or potential energy?
A nuclear power plant is an example of potential energy. The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is released through nuclear reactions to generate power.
How can you convert Electrical energy to nuclear energy?
A power plant generator
