Basic knowledge for energy storage electrical engineers

What is electrical energy storage?

Electrical Energy Storage is a process of converting electrical energy into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed (McLarnon and Cairns, 1989; Ibrahim et al., 2008). In this section, a technical comparison between the different types of energy storage systems is carried out.

What are electrical energy storage systems (EESS)?

Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) for electrical installations are becoming more prevalent. EESS provide storage of electrical energy so that it can be used later. The approach is not new: EESS in the form of battery-backed uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have been used for many years. EESS are starting to be used for other purposes.

When was the first electricity storage system invented?

The first electrical energy storage systems appeared in the second half of the 19th Century with the realization of the first pumped-storage hydroelectric plants in Europe and the United States. Storing water was the first way to store potential energy that can then be converted into electricity.

Which components in electrical engineering can store energy?

There are two components in electrical engineering that can store energy: capacitors and coils. This chapter concentrated on discussing features of importance for energy storage: namely, the features of supercapacitors and superconducting coils.
