In the current push to convert to renewable sources of energy, many
issues raised years ago on the economics and the difficulties of
siting energy storage are once again being raised today. When large
amounts of wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources are
added to existing electrical grids, efficient and manageable energy
storage becomes a crucial component to allowing a range of
eco-friendly resources to play a significant role in our energy
system. In order to fulfill our intended goal of diminishing
dependence on non-renewable sources of energy and reducing our
carbon footprint, we must find a way to store and convert these
novel resources into practical solutions. Based on the efforts of a
University of Colorado team devoted to increasing the use of
renewable energy production within the current electrical power
grid, Large Energy Storage Systems Handbook examines a number of
ways that energy can be stored and converted back to electricity.
Examining how to enhance renewable generation energy storage
relative to economic and carbon impact, this book discusses issues
of reliability, siting, economics, and efficiency. Chapters include
the practicalities of energy storage, generation, and absorption of
electrical power; the difficulties of intermittent generation; and
the use of pumped and underground pumped hydroelectric energy
storage. The book highlights the storage of compressed air, battery
energy, solar thermal, and natural gas sources of energy. Heavily
referenced and easily accessible to policy makers, developers, and
students alike, this book provides contributions from those active
in the field for coverage of many important topics. With this book
as a foundation, these pioneers can develop the capacity of power
grids to handle high renewable energy generation penetration and
provide a brighter future for generations to come.
