Overview
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).
Check the Energy Storage - Application and Technology course offered by Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG for more details.
