Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Energy is necessary for a number of reasons, the most basic and obvious involve the preparation of food and the provision of heat to make life comfortable, or at least, bearable. Subsequently, a wide range of technological uses of energy have emerged and been developed, so that the availability of energy has become a central issue in society. The easiest way to acquire useful energy is to simply ?nd it as wood or a hydrocarbon fossil fuel in nature. But it has often been found to be advantageous to convert what is simply available in nature into more useful forms, and the processing and conversion of raw materials, especially petrochemicals have become a very large industry. Wood Wood has been used to provide heat for a great many years. In some cases, it can be acquired as needed by foraging, or cutting, followed by simple collection. When it is abundant there is relatively little need for it to be stored. However, many societies have found it desirable to collect more wood than is immediately needed during warm periods during the year, and to store it up for use in the winter, when the needs are greater, or its collection is not so convenient. One can still see this in some locations, such as the more remote communities in the Alps, for example. One might think of this as the oldest and simplest example of energy storage.
Download or read book Energy Storage Basics written by Saad Youssefi and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy Storage Basics closely covers the basics of energy storage in the form of a study guide. It is meant for energy professionals and a technical audience interested in understanding the concepts of electricity, renewables, and energystorage solutions. The important concepts will be covered and defined, and readers will have a chance to test themselves at the end of each chapter.The last decade has shown incredible progress in the world's transition towards a clean energy future. Today, the most competitive levelized costs of electricity, which refers to the cost of generating electricity and operating a power plant, is large scale grid-connected solar photovoltaics systems.As the world transitions towards clean energy, new challenges will emerge that need to be addressed. Renewable energy such as solar and wind energy are intermittent and non-continuous, which makes its output unpredictable and consequently makes managing energy loads a challenge.As intermittent renewable energy contributes to an ever larger proportion of our energy consumption, energy storage will play an important role in managing loads within the electricity grid. More specifically, energy storage will providegrid operators and utilities with the flexibility to deploy energy in response to their needs. Also, energy storage will allow residential and commercial industrial consumers to generate their own electricity and operate outside of the electric grid - what we often call 'behind the meter'.Energy storage systems, also referred to in this book as ESS, we believe is the holy grail for this clean energy transition.

Download or read book Heat and cold storage with PCM written by Harald Mehling and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 2006 and 2007 mark a dramatic change of peoples view regarding c- mate change and energy consumption. The new IPCC report makes clear that - mankind plays a dominant role on climate change due to CO emissions from en- 2 ergy consumption, and that a significant reduction in CO emissions is necessary 2 within decades. At the same time, the supply of fossil energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas becomes less reliable. In spring 2008, the oil price rose beyond 100 $/barrel for the first time in history. It is commonly accepted today that we have to reduce the use of fossil fuels to cut down the dependency on the supply countries and to reduce CO emissions. The use of renewable energy sources and 2 increased energy efficiency are the main strategies to achieve this goal. In both strategies, heat and cold storage will play an important role. People use energy in different forms, as heat, as mechanical energy, and as light. With the discovery of fire, humankind was the first time able to supply heat and light when needed. About 2000 years ago, the Romans started to use ceramic tiles to store heat in under floor heating systems. Even when the fire was out, the room stayed warm. Since ancient times, people also know how to cool food with ice as cold storage.
