Abstract: The daily non-uniform power demand is a serious problem in power industry. In addition, recent decades show a trend for the transition to renewable power sources, but their power output depends upon weather and daily conditions. These factors determine the urgency of energy accumulation technology research and development. The presence of a wide variety of energy storage mechanisms leads to the need for their classification and comparison as well as a consideration of possible options for their application in modern power units. This paper presents a comparative analysis of energy storage methods for energy systems and complexes. Recommendations are made on the choice of storage technologies for the modern energy industry. The change in the cost of supplied energy at power plants by integrating various energy storage systems is estimated and the technologies for their implementation are considered. It is revealed that in the large-scale power production industry, the most productive accumulation methods for energy systems and complexes are the following: pumped hydroelectric energy storage systems, thermal and thermochemical accumulations, and hydrogen systems. These methods have the best technical and economic characteristics. The resulting recommendations allow for the assessment of the economic and energy effect achieved by integration of storage systems at the stage of designing new power units.
