This chapter aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the "Introduction to Energy Storage and Conversion". It provides an in-depth examination of fundamental principles, technological advancements, and practical implementations relevant to energy storage and conversion.
The simplest way to integrate the energy conversion and storage units together is to connect them by wires. [21, 23] For example, Gibson and Kelly reported a combination of iron phosphate type Li-ion battery and a thin amorphous Si solar cell. The integrated system achieved an overall solar energy conversion and storage efficiency of 14.5%.
The current research in this area are focusing on increasing the energy conversion efficiencies and output power and many strategies including selecting suitable redox couples [60, 65] and electrode materials, 66 as well as the use of ionic liquids, [65, 67] have been proposed.
Thermal energy is another abundantly available energy source, and most of it especially the low-grade heat from such sources as industrial wastes, geothermal activity, and solar heating, is often wasted. Thermal-electric energy conversion and storage has been demonstrated as an attractive technology to utilize this vast energy.
When demand for electricity rises, the stored energy can be released to generate electricity again, helping to balance supply and demand in the grid. Chemical Energy Storage: Energy is stored in chemical compounds through various processes, providing versatile and scalable solutions for energy storage needs.
Ultimately, the converted energy is transmitted or stored and then distributed to consumers who reap the benefits of its utility across various aspects of daily life, industrial processes, and societal needs. This comprehensive approach ensures a reliable and sustainable energy ecosystem to support modern lifestyles and economic activities.
