This chapter aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the "Introduction to Energy Storage and Conversion". It provides an in-depth examination of fundamental principles, technological advancements, and practical implementations relevant to energy storage and conversion.
The development of thermal, mechanical, and chemical energy storage technologies addresses challenges created by significant penetration of variable renewable energy sources into the electricity mix.
When demand for electricity rises, the stored energy can be released to generate electricity again, helping to balance supply and demand in the grid. Chemical Energy Storage: Energy is stored in chemical compounds through various processes, providing versatile and scalable solutions for energy storage needs.
The earliest grid-scale energy storage technology is pumped hydroelectric storage, introduced to the grid in the 1930s. Significant capacity growth has continued since, and pumped hydro is still the dominant technology in energy storage on a capacity basis.
Source: EPRI. Understanding the components of energy storage systems is a critical first step to understanding energy storage economics. The economics of energy storage is reliant on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid which energy storage can participate in.
It plays a crucial role in minimizing energy waste, improving grid stability, and facilitating the seamless integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. As energy storage technology continues to evolve, it contributes to enhanced energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
