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.
