Energy Storage


Product Description
This is a comprehensive overview of energy storage concepts, methodologies and applications.
Students will find chapters exploring the underlying energy storage fundamentals under various conditions, such as organic fuels, phase transitions and heat capacity, in addition to reversible chemical reactions. Important energy storage types such as mechanical, hydrogen and electromagnetic energy storage are discussed in a pedagogical language and structure accessible to students and researchers alike. Valuable coverage of various types of batteries are included, such as metal hydride / "nickel", lithium, lead-acid and primary batteries, in addition to a variety of current applications.
</p>Energy Storage Review
This book provides an excellent overview of the various methods that can be used for energy storage,Topics include the storage of heat by use of phase change materials, reversible chemical reactions, and in a variety of organic fuels, not just oil.
A number of ways to store mechanical energy, both as potential energy and as kinetic energy, are described, including the obvious pumped water and flywheels.
Energy storage in the different types of capacitors, magnetic and superconductive systems are also discussed.
There is an unusually broad discussion of the various methods for the production and storage of hydrogen.
More than half of the pages are dedicated to the storage of energy in electrochemical systems. That is where this book stands out from all the rest.
Rather than merely describing the different types of batteries, it teaches the materials science principles that determine the voltages and capacities of electrochemical systems and devices, and their kinetic properties. Topics cover the whole spectrum, from heart pacemaker power sources to the common non-rechargeable alkaline cells, metal hydride cells, lithium-ion batteries, and the flow batteries that will surely play an important role in connecting intermittent sources, such as wind and solar, to the large scale electrical grid.
The discussion of the common lead-acid battery shows, for the first time, why these water-based electrochemical cells can have voltages that are well beyond what would normally cause water to be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
This book is really an outstanding textbook, for topics are discussed in a manner that teaches the important principles involved, rather than being merely descriptive.
