What technologies are included in the Energy Storage Catalogue?

The catalogue contains both existing technologies and technologies under development. The catalogue contains data for various energy storage technologies and was first published in October 2018. Several battery technologies were added up until January 2019. Technology data for energy storage Datasheet for energy storage

What is electrical energy storage (EES)?

Electrical Energy Storage, EES, is one of the key technologies in the areas covered by the IEC. EES techniques have shown unique capabilities in coping with some critical characteristics of electricity, for example hourly variations in demand and price.

Why should energy storage technologies be evaluated?

This basis for evaluating storage technologies can provide a structure for the energy industry to analyze and prioritize energy storage in different applications and environments. The phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT) presents a series of design questions specific to energy storage applications.

How is thermal energy stored?

Thermal energy is stored solely through a change of temperature of the storage medium. The capacity of a storage system is defi ned by the specifi c heat capacity and the mass of the medium used. Latent heat storage is accomplished by using phase change materials (PCMs) as storage media.

How to select a single energy storage technology for a specific application?

To select a single energy storage technology for a specific application, many parameters are considered. While these may not be phenomena in the traditional sense of the word, the PIRT method can be used to evaluate the various characteristics of storage technologies and their deployment.

What resources are available for energy storage?
