Peak Shaving and Valley Filling refers to using energy storage systems to store electricity during peak demand periods and release it during off-peak times. This approach balances power supply and demand, ensuring stable grid operations.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in, and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 1960s to 1980s,.
