Description
You are a professional, a student, a teacher or just interested in general in the principles of Energy Storage? Then this is the right course for you!In this course, we will cover various concepts, reactions and applications of various Energy Storage Technologies. For this purpose we will start at the very beginning, picking you up and introducing into some fundamental concepts of each technology. Depending on the Energy Storage, we will cover additional aspects of Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Economics surrounding every topic.The concept of this course is not to only give textbook explanations to things and to explain models. Instead it aims at using your knowledge to understand the bigger picture and apply the knowledge you gained by looking at real life applications.The curriculum of this course will allow you a step-by-step introduction by covering the following topics:Introduction - In this chapter we will talk about the origin of energy storage, fossil fuels, the carbon cycle, classification and key parameters of energy storage technologiesElectrical Energy Storage - You will learn how electrical energy storage with capacitors works. We will start with the very basics of physics and work our way to understanding more complex systems like double-layer capacitors and supercapacitors, their characteristics, efficiency, ageing and applicationElectrochemical Energy Storage - We will discuss the principles of electrochemical cells and their setup, define key parameters of battery cells, losses and have an in-depth look into the processes happening in Lead-acid batteries and Li-ion batteries.Chemical Energy Storage - This chapter will cover various aspects of (green) hydrogen and (green) methane production. We will dive into conventional processes, electrolysis and carefully wage advantages and disadvantages of individual energy carriers. Furthermore, Fuel Cells and possible storage methods for these kind of fuels will be covered.Mechanical Energy Storage - Looking into various methods storage by means of gas, liquid and solids we will focus on the working principle, advantages and disadvantages as well as application areas of compressed air energy storage, pumped water storage and flywheels.Thermal Energy Storage - In this section we will discuss fundamental concepts of heat transfer and storage using sensible, latent or thermochemical storage methods.Finishing this course, you will be able to talk about the operational principle of various Energy Storage Technologies, employed materials, explain which parameters influence their operation and where they can be found / applied!
