Power storage using sand and engineered materials as an

The basic idea behind energy storage is to transform one form of energy into another that can be done in an efficient, cost-effective, and hopefully emission-minimizing method [6]. Energy storage allows demand and supply to be de-coupled through time, reducing reliance on plants that may be over-designed, inefficient, and expensive [7].
