Energy storage systems have emerged as the paramount solution for harnessing produced energies efficiently and preserving them for subsequent usage. This chapter aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the "Introduction to Energy Storage and Conversion".
Energy storage technologies can significantly improve the performance of the whole energy system. They enhance energy security, allow more cost-effective solutions, and support greater sustainability, enabling a more just energy system.
Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
Another important point is that the commercial viability of an energy storage system is typically a function of both performance and cost, i.e., a lower-cost system may be viable even with reduced performance or vice versa. Table 1. Performance and cost metrics for energy storage systems.
