Energy Storage Devices for Renewable Energy-Based Systems Summary

Energy Storage Devices for Renewable Energy-Based Systems: Rechargeable Batteries and Supercapacitors by Nihal Kularatna (Associate Professor in Electronic Engineering, The University of Waikato, New Zealand)

Energy Storage Devices for Renewable Energy-Based Systems: Rechargeable Batteries and Supercapacitors, Second Edition is a fully revised edition of this comprehensive overview of the concepts, principles and practical knowledge on energy storage devices. The book gives readers the opportunity to expand their knowledge of innovative supercapacitor applications, comparing them to other commonly used energy storage devices. With new application case studies and definitions, this resource will strengthen your understanding of energy storage from a practical, applications-based point-of-view without requiring detailed examination of underlying electrochemical equations. Users will learn about various design approaches and real-time applications of ESDs. Electronic engineering experts and system designers will find this book useful to deepen their understanding on the application of electronic storage devices, circuit topologies, and industrial device data sheets to develop new applications. The book is also intended to be used as a textbook for masters and doctoral students who want to enhance their knowledge and understanding the concepts of renewable energy sources and state-of-the-art ESDs.

Energy Storage Devices for Renewable Energy-Based Systems Reviews

The new energy landscape has the potental for m any new innovations for powering the future. With the proliferation of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, fuel cells, and geothermal, there is increasing research and development of technologies expected to support the power grid of the future. Currently, many proposed power networks require some form of energy storage to moderate the intermittent nature of these renewable energy sources. Two such energy storage devices, that the authors are convinced will play a critical role in future power distribution systems, are batteries and supercapacitors. --IEEE: Electrical Insulation Magazine
