Aims and Scope
The aim of the course is to provide students with
the knowledge of the need for energy storage and the evaluation of different energy
storage methods.
Course Description
Basic principles of the need for energy storage at
national and individual level. Energy supply security. Storage of mechanical -
potential energy. Storage of electric energy. Types of batteries. Electrochemistry.
Charge – discharge curves. Factors that affect the operation of batteries. Storage
capacity. Supercapacitors. Parameters for the evaluation of energy storage. Compressed
air storage. Thermal energy storage. Phase change materials. Short, medium and
long term energy storage. Cross-seasonal energy storage. Geometry of tanks.
Storage of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. Examples and applications.
Expected Course Outcome
At the end of the course,
students will be able to
- elaborate a study of energy storage in
energy systems.
- manage energy systems that use energy
storage.
- carry
out parametric analysis of systems that use energy storage.
