A Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) can rapidly inject or absorb high amounts of active power in order to support the grid, following abrupt changes in the generation or in the demand, with no concern over its lifetime. The work presented in this book studies the grid integration of a high-speed FESS in low voltage distribution grids from several perspectives, including optimal allocation, sizing, modeling, real-time simulation, and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop testing.

This Special Issue addresses the general problem of a proper match between the demands of energy users and the units for energy conversion and storage, by means of proper design and operation of the overall energy system configuration. The focus is either on systems including single plants or groups of plants, connected or not to one or more energy distribution networks. In both cases, the optimum design and operation involve decisions about thermodynamic processes, about the type, number, design parameters of components/plants, and storage capacities, and about mutual interconnections and the interconnections with the distribution grids. The problem is absolutely general, encompassing design and operation of energy systems for single houses, groups of houses, industries, industrial districts, municipal areas, regions and countries. The presented papers show that similar approaches can be used in different applications, although a general standard has not been achieved yet.

This work gives a comprehensive overview on materials, processes and technological challenges for electrochemical storage and conversion of energy. Optimization and development of electrochemical cells requires consideration of the cell as a whole, taking into account the complex interplay of all individual components. Considering the availability of resources, their environmental impact and requirements for recycling, the design of new concepts has to be based on the understanding of relevant processes at an atomic level.

This book offers a thorough analysis of the mechanical properties, heat transfer, and flow characteristics as well as the monitoring techniques during the construction and operation of underground salt cavern gas storage, with an emphasis on the geological features of layered salt rocks. This information can serve as a theoretical foundation and technical guide for the underground salt cavern gas storage project. Taking into account theoretical innovations and their engineering applications, this book establishes a fundamental framework for salt cavern energy storage and covers practically every process involved in building and operating of the salt cavern energy storage. These processes include rock mechanical properties, water solution mining, gas injection for debrining, gas injection and withdrawal operation, tightness evaluation, stability assessment, operation optimization, and safety monitoring. Field engineers, researchers studying energy storage in salt caverns, and undergraduate and graduate students are the target audience for this book.
