Advances in Batteries for Medium and Large-Scale Energy Storage

Introduction

As energy produced from renewable sources is increasingly integrated into the electricity grid, interest in energy storage technologies for grid stabilisation is growing. This book reviews advances in battery technologies and applications for medium and large-scale energy storage.

Battery Technologies Covered

Chapters address advances in nickel, sodium and lithium-based batteries. Other chapters review other emerging battery technologies such as metal-air batteries and flow batteries.

Design and Applications

The final section of the book discusses design considerations and applications of batteries in remote locations and for grid-scale storage.

Key Topics
