Emerging Trends in Energy Storage Systems and Industrial Applications

Energy storage plays an important role in supporting power‐hungry devices and achieving stable power supply by optimally balancing supply and demand with ever‐increasing requirement for computing power and the intermittent nature of renewable resources. Emerging Trends in Energy Storage Systems and Industrial Applications focuses on emerging trends in energy storage systems, applicable to various types of applications including heat and power generation, electrical and hybrid transportation.

With performance limitations in current energy storage devices, such as limited energy density, power density, and cycle life, major challenges in the complex and dynamic environments of energy storage applications are examined in this reference. High‐performance components, proper system configuration, effective modelling and control are keys to achieving seamlessly integrated and functional energy storage systems are also addressed, in order to provide guidance to achieving more reliable and efficient systems.

Outcomes from this book serve as a resource for industrialists, academia and researchers working in the domain of advance energy storage technologies and their applications, giving them an overview of energy storage options, availability and technological trends enabling them to make longer-term, safe storage system decisions.

• Presents a better understanding of the smart energy storage technologies: system, management, and implementation
• Explores all energy storage system: integration, power quality, and operation
• Offers an interdisciplinary look across electrical, electronics, energy, mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering aspects of energy storage
