The classification of air-cooled energy storage systems can be crucial in understanding their operational mechanisms and applications. Each system typically operates by storing excess energy and converting it into thermal energy, which is then used for heating or cooling purposes.
Both air-cooled and liquid-cooled energy storage systems (ESS) are widely adopted across commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications. But their performance, operational cost, and risk profiles differ significantly.

The main differences between liquid-cooled energy storage systems and air-cooled energy storage systems are the heat dissipation methods and applicable scenarios.
The most common methods for classification of ESSs are based on energy usage in a specific form, including electrical energy storage (EES) and thermal energy storage (TES), or based on the types of energy stored in the system (kinetic or potential; thermal, electrical, mechanical, chemical, etc.) [11, 18, 23].
Among all energy storage systems, the compressed air energy storage (CAES) as mechanical energy storage has shown its unique eligibility in terms of clean storage medium, scalability, high lifetime, long discharge time, low self-discharge, high durability, and relatively low capital cost per unit of stored energy.
It was classified into three types, such as sensible heat, latent heat and thermochemical heat storage system (absorption and adsorption system) (65).

The most common chemical energy storage systems include hydrogen, synthetic natural gas, and solar fuel storage. Hydrogen fuel energy is a clean and abundant renewable fuel that is safe to use. The hydrogen energy can be produced from electrolysis or sunlight through photocatalytic water splitting (16,17).
Among the prominent types of mechanical energy storage are Pumped Hydroelectric Energy Storage (PHES), Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), Flywheel Energy Storage (FES), and Gravity Energy Storage (GES).
Thermal energy storage system converts heat energy into electrical energy and stores electricity. It was classified into three types, such as sensible heat, latent heat and thermochemical heat storage system (absorption and adsorption system) (65).
