Popis: Energy storage is a critical component of any initiative to make electric power and mobility more sustainable. As more solar and wind power generation are added to the electric grid, a mismatch between the periods of peak generation and peak demand necessitate some way to store energy and buffer transient fluctuations in the grid. Similarly, to transition from petroleum-based energy for transportation requires renewable technologies for storing energy with high energy density. This chapter addresses energy storage for smart grid systems, with a particular focus on the design aspects of electrical energy storage in lithium ion batteries.
