Energy Storage
Technologies and Applications
Overall structure of electrical power system is in the process of
changing. For incremental growth, it is moving away from fossil fuels -
major source of energy in the world today - to renewable energy
resources that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Factors forcing these considerations are (a) the increasing demand for
electric power by both developed and developing countries, (b) many
developing countries lacking the resources to build power plants and
distribution networks, (c) some industrialized countries facing
insufficient power generation and (d) greenhouse gas emission and
climate change concerns. Renewable energy sources such as wind turbines,
photovoltaic solar systems, solar-thermo power, biomass power plants,
fuel cells, gas micro-turbines, hydropower turbines, combined heat and
power (CHP) micro-turbines and hybrid power systems will be part of
future power generation systems
