Kurzbeschreibung
Energy Storage comprehensively covers the latest applications in energy storage, such as transmission and distribution systems, while also analyzing the relevant advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of current technologies like thermal storage. It covers applications of energy storage such as electric power generation, transmission and distribution systems, pulsed systems, transportation, buildings and mobile applications. The book examines the most up-to-date technologies such as batteries, hydrogen, super capacitors, SMES, flywheels, CAES, thermal storage and hydraulic gravitational storage. And it analyzes relevant technologies in energy in the context of their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations.
Energy storage examines different applications such as electric power generation, transmission and distribution systems, pulsed systems, transportation, buildings and mobile applications. For each of these applications, proper energy storage technologies are foreseen, with their advantages, disadvantages and limits. As electricity cannot be stored cheaply in large quantities, energy has to be stored in another form (chemical, thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical) and then converted back into electric power and/or energy using conversion systems. Most of the storage technologies are examined: batteries, hydrogen, super capacitors, SMES, flywheels, CAES, thermal storage and hydraulic gravitational storage.
