This chapter specifically dwells on energy storage methods and hence provides the basic aspects of the chemical, electrochemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal energy storage techniques. Various illustrative examples are presented to highlight the importance of these methods and their deployment in various applications.
Energy storage involves converting energy from forms that are difficult to store to more conveniently or economically storable forms. Some technologies provide short-term energy storage, while others can endure for much longer. Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped.
Figure 2.3 shows energy storage methods based on the type of intermediate energy form. The thermochemical ES is intentionally highlighted under thermal energy storage since the thermochemical ES is considered as a chemical ES method in some classifications that are provided in the literature.
The application of energy storage on the grid side is mainly to relieve transmission and distribution blockage, delay transmission and distribution equipment expansion, and reactive power support.
Energy storage converters, also known as the bi-directional energy storage inverters PCS, are used in grid-connected energy storage and micro-grid energy storage, and, in other AC coupling energy storage systems, connecting the battery and the grid (or load) is a device to achieve bi-directional conversion of electrical energy.
Storage systems with higher energy density are often used for long-duration applications such as renewable energy load shifting . Table 3. Technical characteristics of energy storage technologies.
