Energy storage is subject to intensive research as a way to improve energy security against possible outages and emergencies, to offer better value to consumers, and to support advances towards more sustainable and renewable energy generation practices. Here, the contributors present a picture of the field of energy storage today, as well as perspectives on directions for future development. In part one, technologies and applications are discussed and evaluated. The reader will find new insights into topics including electrochemical energy storage, compressed air energy storage, the techno-economic analysis of different storage technologies, storage in hybrid energy systems, and advanced battery energy storage systems. Part two considers energy storage in the emerging era of the smart grid. Innovative findings are offered on topics including supercapacitor-based storage systems, lightning energy, bidirectional DC-DC converters, high-temperature PEM fuel cells, and industrial applications of electrical energy storage systems. This forward-thinking collection will be a fascinating resource for students and researchers in this growing field, offering the most up-to-date information as well as inspiration for future developments.
