Energy storage has become very important as electrical energy generation is changing from traditional techniques to renewable techniques. One problem with many renewable energy techniques is that the source is not usually available 100% of the time—the sun doesn’t shine all day, the wind is not always blowing, and even hydro and hydrokinetic energy depends upon rainfall, which is not consistently available everywhere, even where rainfall is expected on a regular basis. Snowmelt is seasonably dependable but only lasts for a limited time.
The electrical grid must be able to supply electrical energy when and where it is needed. In this course, you’ll learn about many of the energy storage techniques that are used by the electrical energy transmission system. With new ideas of how to store energy being explored, this field is rapidly changing. However, the basic principles hold. There are electrical, chemical, thermodynamic, and mechanical ways to store energy. In this course, we’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of various energy storage devices.
