The course offers an overview of Energy Storage technologies. A special focus is given to technologies that can be utilized at grid scale for renewable energy systems. Both the theory and the applied technologies of direct electric, electromechanical, and electrochemical energy storage systems are covered. Technologies include pumped hydroelectric, flywheel, compressed air, Nickel Metal hydride, Sodium-Sulfur, capacitors, and magnetic energy storage. The coverage of these technologies relates them to their application scope of power quality, bridging power, and energy management. In addition, design factors are addressed including efficiency computations and cost per unit storage capacity.
