Description

Description

This course provides insights into the progress and challenges faced by energy storage systems. These systems have the potential of bridging the gap between the supply and demand of energy, especially in networks using a high proportion of renewable generation. Despite significant technical improvements over the last few years, storage markets are still in their infancy, and some energy storage system (ESS) technologies face both economic and technological challenges.

The course presents the most important ESS options, with their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, the following examples of ESS are described in detail: mechanical storage (e.g. compressed air energy storage (CAES) or pumped hydro plants); electrical storage (e.g. superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES)); thermal storage (TES); electro-chemical storage (batteries), and chemical storage (e.g. hydrogen).

The course covers:

  • Terminology and definitions
  • EEES classification according to the system integration method and duration of power supply
  • Storage applications in different sectors
  • Mechanical energy storage systems
  • Electrical energy storage systems
  • Electrochemical energy storage systems
  • Thermal energy storage systems
  • Economics of energy storage systems

Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.
