Energy Storage for Smart Grids cover

This analysis of cutting-edge technologies demonstrates how energy storage can be economically implemented.

Energy storage is a main component of any holistic consideration of smart grids, particularly when incorporating power derived from variable, distributed and renewable energy resources. Energy Storage for Smart Grids delves into detailed coverage of the entire spectrum of available and emerging storage technologies, presented in the context of economic and practical considerations. Featuring the latest research findings from the world’s foremost energy storage experts, complete with data analysis, field tests, and simulation results, this book helps device manufacturers develop robust business cases for the inclusion of storage in grid applications. It also provides the comparisons and explanations grid planners and operators need to make informed decisions about which storage solutions will be most successful when implemented in operational grids.

"...gives a comprehensive overview of every type of storage, from flywheels and hydrogen to supercapacitors, and discusses the most suitable applications for each storage type." --Real Power
