ModuleSpecificationModule name RE18M3– Energy storage Programme (Energy/ICT): Energy ECTS: 6 Type Bachelor/Msc: Master Module name: Energy storage Scope and form: The Energy storage module introduces students to the structure and operating principles of devices that store variable quantities of energy supplied by renewable energy sources. Duration (weeks; Hours/week): 14 weeks; 4 hours/week Type of assessment: Diagnostic tests, independent homework, achievement tests, seminar works Qualified Prerequisites: Competences and skills acquired upon the completion of Fundamentals of power systems, Foundations on renewable energy, Transmission and distribution systems courses. General module objectives: Electrical power generation is changing dramatically across the world because of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to introduce mixed energy sources. The power networks face great challenges in transmission and distribution to meet demand with unpredictable daily and seasonal variations. Most the renewable energy sources are intermittent in their nature, which presents a great challenge in energy generation and load balance maintenance to ensure power network stability and reliability. Electrical Energy Storage (EES) technology refers to the process of converting energy from one form (mainly electrical energy) to a storable form and reserving it in various mediums; then the stored energy can be converted back into electrical energy when needed. The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the principles of operation of the main energy storage systems:
1. Mechanical systems (pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and flywheels energy storage (FES);
2. Electrochemical systems (conventional rechargeable batteries and flow batteries); 3. Electrical systems (capacitors, supercapacitors and superconducting magnetic energy
storage); 4. Thermochemical systems (solar fuels); 5. Chemical systems (hydrogen storage and fuel cells) and 6. Thermal energy storage (sensible heat storage and latent heat storage).
The module presents the technical and economical performances of storage systems and their selection criteria for a given application. Models for different energy storage

systems and the possibilities of integrating renewable energy sources in electrical networks are analyzed.
• Topics and short description: It defines and describes the types of renewable energy sources based on the use of wind energy, solar energy , hydrological energy, thermal energy and hydrogen energy:
• Mechanical systems for energy storage: pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air energy storage, and flywheels energy storage.
• Electrochemical systems for energy storage: (conventional rechargeable batteries and flow batteries.
• Electrical systems for energy storage: capacitors, supercapacitors and superconducting magnetic energy storage).
• Thermochemical systems for energy storage: solar fuels. • Chemical systems for energy storage: hydrogen storage and fuel cells. • Thermal energy storage: sensible heat storage and latent heat storage.
It address also the modeling for different energy storage systems and the integration of
the renewable energy sources in electrical networks.

General module objectives:
Fossil fuels are depleting. Carbon dioxide is accumulating in the atmosphere. Globalwarming is accelerating at an increasing rate. These ever growing concerns stimulateworldwide research activities within technologies of high fuel efficiency, low airemissions, and renewable energy for the 21st century. Hydrogen and fuel cells areexpectedtoplaycentralroles inthiscontext.Thecoursepresentsacomprehensiveandup-to-dateunderstandingof thehydrogenenergy and fuel cell technologies inorder toprovide(1)anintroductoryoverviewtostudentsthatarenewinthefield,(2)adetailedexplanation and further understanding to those familiar with the subject, and (3) adiscussion platform for the newest innovations and future improvements to thoseinvolvedortobeinvolvedinthedevelopment.Topicsandshortdescription:Hydrogen as an energy carrier, fundamentals of fuel cells, electrochemical principles,thermodynamics, ion conductors, catalysts and electrodes, types of fuel cells (protonexchange membrane fuel cell, alkaline fuel cell, phosphoric acid fuel cell, moltencarbonate fuel cell, solid oxide fuel cell), hydrogen storage, metal hydrides, fuelprocessing, hydrogen production (reforming and electrolysis), system integration,balanceofplant, applications.Optional lab tourswill be arranged. If possible, build thesysteminwholeorinpart,inthelaboratoryandmakemeasurementsinordertoexaminethefunctionalityofthesystemandtoverifythesetupmodels.
