Aims
To develop systematic knowledge and understanding of the role of and technologies available for energy storage, with a particular focus on their impact for the exploitation of renewable energy resources.
Outline Of Syllabus
• Energy storage for grid management: centralised energy storage, distributed storage.
• Energy storage for renewable energy resource exploitation: renewable energy in grid and isolated systems, distributed (local) storage e.g. for isolated systems.
• Energy storage technologies (in addition to those covered in SPG8007, SPG8008 and SPG8028): pumped, flywheel storage, compressed air, etc.
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to demonstrate:
1. Describe the roles energy storage can play in both grid and isolated systems and in the exploitation of renewable energy resources.
2. Discuss the science, technologies and benefits associated with energy storage, with a particular emphasis in this module on pumped storage, flywheel storage and compressed air storage.
3. Discuss the impact of generation systems used in renewable energy exploitation on the choice and design of energy storage systems.
Intended Skill Outcomes
On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Identify situations where energy storage could impact positively on the exploitation of renewable energy resources and evaluate the credibility of these.
2. Explain appropriate energy storage technology for a particular context involving renewable energy resources
3. Describe the factors that will impact on the design of an energy storage installation associated with renewable energy exploitation.
