Future Grid-Scale Energy Storage Solutions

Future Energy Storage Technologies: Dynamic Modeling and Perspectives presents thorough dynamic thermodynamic modeling of current and future energy storage technologies. Giving a detailed understanding of why both heat and electricity energy storage technologies have developed so rapidly, this reference presents the general thermodynamics that apply to main system components, as well as off-design performance maps. Discussed through a consistent framework, each chapter outlines state-of-the-art advances, benefits and challenges and detailed mathematical modelling (both energy and exergy) of the given energy storage system. Chapters conclude with case study analysis, giving detailed understanding of the system performance in real operational conditions, and finally, a future prospect among the emerging technologies and solutions for the future storage systems. This book is a highly beneficial reference for researchers and scientists dealing energy storage systems, by providing a single comprehensive book to facilitate the information needed by researchers. Features all the major Mechanical and Chemical Energy Storage Systems, including electricity and heat Storages Includes Step by step energy and exergy modeling, including off-design performance modeling Provides future perspectives for technologies, describing description how they will contribute to the future smart energy systems
