2. Regarding the type of energy to be stored (received by the storage system) and produced (the output of the system), any energy carrier (electricity, mechanical work of shaft or reciprocating pistons, thermal energy, fuels, etc.) could be the case.
There are several approaches to classifying energy storage systems. The most common approach is classification according to physical form of energy and basic operating principle: electric (electromagnetic), electrochemical/chemical, mechanical, thermal.
One of the earliest and most accessible energy storage system types is battery storage, relying solely on electrochemical processes. Lithium-ion batteries, known for their prevalence in portable electronics and electric vehicles, represent just one type among a diverse range of chemistries, including lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and sodium-sulfur.
Energy supply always requires energy storage—either as an intrinsic property or as additional system. It is an intrinsic property of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, although less so of water-borne heat, but not of electricity. So to meet variable demands and supplies, heat and electricity networks usually require additional storage systems.
Secondary energy storage systems are energy storage systems that may be charged and discharged multiple times. Primary energy storage systems include energy carriers with intrinsic storage, such as solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, in coal dumps, oil tanks, and gas vessels.
The simplest form in concept. Mechanical storage encompasses systems that store energy power in the forms of kinetic or potential energy such as flywheels, which store rotational energy, and compressed air energy storage systems. Another emerging option within mechanical storage is gravitational energy storage, which is currently under development.

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.
