Description This module covers the integration of energy storage solutions within a whole energy system, and a detail of the practical considerations at a local level.
In addition, some of the wider implications for energy storage are explored e.g. Potential of pumped hydro storage in the UK
Recycling/re-use of batteries, Hybrid/distributed solutions,
EVs – use as stationary storage, storage at charge points
Solar + storage in the home

Learning Outcomes By the end of the module students should be able to:
  • Explain operating principles, characteristics, and classifications of energy storage solutions and their integration within a whole energy system.
  • Calculate/analyse energy capacities and other parameters of various energy storage technologies, e.g. battery, compressed air, pumped hydro, etc.
