| Summary: | The book has 20 chapters and is divided into 4 parts.The first part which is about The use of energy storage deals with Energy conversion: from primary sources to consumers; Energy storage as a structural unit of a power system; and Trends in power system development. The second part which is about Energy storage techniques covers Thermal energy storage; Flywheel storage; Pumped hydro storage; Compressed air energy storage; Hydrogen and other synthetic fuels; Electrochemical energy storage; Capacitor bank storage; Superconducting magnetic energy storage; Energy storage in the power system itself; and Considerations on the choice of a storage system. The third part which is about Power system considerations for energy storage covers Integration of energy storage systems; Effect of energy storage on transient regimes in the power system; and Optimising regimes for energy storage in a power system. Finally the fourth part which is about Energy storage and modern power systems deals with Distributed generation, energy storage and smart grid; Energy storage and renewable power sources; Electric vehicles as distributed energy sources and storage; and Conclusion.
