'Anyone wanting to learn quickly about the latest developments in
energy storage should read this book. It provides enough technical
depth for the reader to understand the advantages and limitations
of the various storage methods, and sufficient references to enable
the reader to dig more deeply into the technical details.'IEEE
Journals & MagazinesThe subject of energy storage is extremely
important for the increased utilization of renewable energies such
as solar and wind energy in times when their sources (e.g. the sun
and wind) are unavailable. The ability to store energy can also
level out the demand curve for electricity and thus lead to a
decrease in the peak requirements of energy production. A storage
system for ground transportation is also important as a potential
replacement for fossil fuel powered transportation.Energy Storage
offers a comprehensive look at the possible approaches to energy
storage, which are relevant to various situations; from smoothing
demand in electrical energy production, applications of energy
storage, to transportation. The book covers a variety of approaches
to the storage of energy. Beginning with a discussion of the
critical importance of energy storage, the book discusses various
possible storage options including hydro storage, compressed air
energy storage, and electrical and chemical storage in batteries,
capacitors and fuel cells. There is also a chapter on the
mechanical storage of energy with flywheels using advanced
materials. The various applications to power production and
transportation are also included. The expertise and active
involvement of the authors of the various chapters ensures that the
information is reliable, current, and forward looking.
