Download or read book Electrochemical Energy Storage for Renewable Sources and Grid Balancing written by Patrick T. Moseley and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electricity from renewable sources of energy is plagued by fluctuations (due to variations in wind strength or the intensity of insolation) resulting in a lack of stability if the energy supplied from such sources is used in 'real time'. An important solution to this problem is to store the energy electrochemically (in a secondary battery or in hydrogen and its derivatives) and to make use of it in a controlled fashion at some time after it has been initially gathered and stored. Electrochemical battery storage systems are the major technologies for decentralized storage systems and hydrogen is the only solution for long-term storage systems to provide energy during extended periods of low wind speeds or solar insolation. Future electricity grid design has to include storage systems as a major component for grid stability and for security of supply. The technology of systems designed to achieve this regulation of the supply of renewable energy, and a survey of the markets that they will serve, is the subject of this book. It includes economic aspects to guide the development of technology in the right direction. - Provides state-of-the-art information on all of the storage systems together with an assessment of competing technologies - Features detailed technical, economic and environmental impact information of different storage systems - Contains information about the challenges that must be faced for batteries and hydrogen-storage to be used in conjunction with a fluctuating (renewable energy) power supply

Download or read book Principles of Energy Storage Systems written by Puthalpet Jayarama Reddy and published by BSP Books . This book was released on with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy storage is central for the entire grid, improving resources from wind, solar and hydro to nuclear and fossil fuels, to demand side resources and system efficiency benefits. Energy storage can be performed as a generation, transmission, or distribution asset, and times in a single asset. Energy storage is an enabling technology. When the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing, energy storage can support. When demand shifts and baseload resources can't react quickly enough, again energy storage can support. It saves consumer cost, improves reliability and resilience, integrates generation sources, and helps reduce environmental impacts. This book discusses these aspects while comprehensively covering several energy storage technologies in operation and the ones under demonstration and development. Numerous references are cited for the reader to hunt for more details and if interested in research further. It serves as a text/reference book for students and as a manual for those in the industry and for policy makers. About the Energy Storage: United Nation's Secretary-general António Gueterres, speaking at the launch of the World Meteorological Organization's state of the global climate report on 18th may 2022, said: “First, renewable energy technologies, such as battery storage, must be treated as essential and freely available global public goods. Removing obstacles to knowledge sharing and technological transfer is crucial for a rapid and fair renewable energy transition. Storing renewable electricity is often cited as the greatest barrier to the clean energy transition. I am therefore calling for a global coalition on battery storage to fast-track innovation and deployment – a coalition led and driven by governments, bringing together tech companies, manufacturers, and financiers.” “VRE resources such as wind and solar depend on daily and seasonal variations and weather fluctuations; they aren't always available to be dispatched to follow electricity demand……. Energy storage can help VRE-dominated electricity systems balance electricity supply and demand while maintaining reliability in a cost-effective manner….” Says MIT Energy Initiative Director Robert Armstrong, Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering and chair of the Future of Energy Storage study. The MIT Energy Initiative report confirms that energy storage makes deep decarbonization of reliable electric power systems affordable. “There is no better solution to achieve energy security at present other than the solar and wind energy solutions, coupled with storage systems such as batteries and pumps…….” Says Ajay Mathur, Director General of International Solar Alliance.

Download or read book Chemistry for Sustainable Technologies written by Neil Winterton and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of the first edition, this fully updated and revised book continues to provide an interdisciplinary introduction to sustainability issues in the context of chemistry and chemical technology. Its prime objective is to equip young chemists (and others) to more fully to appreciate, defend and promote the role that chemistry and its practitioners play in moving towards a society better able to control, manage and ameliorate its impact on the ecosphere. To do this, it is necessary to set the ideas, concepts, achievements and challenges of chemistry and its application in the context of its environmental impact, past, present and future, and of the changes needed to bring about a more sustainable yet equitable world. Progress since 2010 is reflected by the inclusion of the latest research and thinking, selected and discussed to put the advances concisely in a much wider setting – historic, scientific, technological, intellectual and societal. The treatment also examines the complexities and additional challenges arising from public and media attitudes to science and technology and associated controversies and from the difficulties in reconciling environmental protection and global development. While the book stresses the central importance of rigour in the collection and treatment of evidence and reason in decision-making, to ensure that it meets the needs of an extensive community of students, it is broad in scope, rather than deep. It is, therefore, appropriate for a wide audience, including all practising scientists and technologists.
