Overview
Key facts
- Despite significant technical improvements over the last few years, storage markets are still in their infancy, and some energy storage system (ESS) technologies face both economic and technological challenges.
- The course presents the most important ESS options, with their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, the following examples of ESS are described in detail: mechanical storage (e.g. compressed air energy storage (CAES) or pumped hydro plants); electrical storage (e.g. superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES)); thermal storage (TES); electro-chemical storage (batteries), and chemical storage (e.g. hydrogen).
- Check the Energy Storage - Application and Technology course offered by Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG for more details.
