This book will provide the technical community with an overview of
the development of new solutions and products that address key
topics, including electric/hybrid vehicles, ultrafast battery
charging, smart grids, renewable energy (e.g., solar and wind),
peak shaving, and reduction of energy consumption. The needs for
storage discussed are within the context of changes between the
centralized power generation of today and the distributed utility
of tomorrow, including the integration of renewable energy sources.
Throughout the book, methods for quantitative and qualitative
comparison of energy storage means are presented through their
energy capacity as well as through their power capability for
different applications. The definitions and symbols for energy
density and power density are given and relate to the volume and
weight of a given system or component. A relatively underdeveloped
concept that is crucial to this text is known as the theory of
Ragone plots. This theory makes possible the evaluation of the real
amount of energy that can possibly release out of a given system,
with respect to the level of power dependency chosen for the
discharge process. From systems using electrochemical
transformations, to classical battery energy storage elements and
so-called flow batteries, to fuel cells and hydrogen storage, this
book further investigates storage systems based on physical
principles (e.g., gravitational potential forces, air compression,
and rotational kinetic energy). This text also examines purely
electrical systems such as superconductive magnets and capacitors.
Another subject of analysis is the presentation of power electronic
circuits and architectures that are needed for continuously
controllable power flow to and from different storage means. For
all systems described, the elementary principles of operation are
given as well as the relationships for the quantified storage of
energy. Finally, Energy Storage: Systems and Components contains
multiple international case studies and a rich set of exercises
that serve both students and practicing engineers.
