Chapter 1 introduces the concept of energy storage system, when and why humans need to store energy, and presents a general classification of energy storage systems (ESS) according to their nature: mechanical, thermal, electrical, electrochemical and chemical. The next five chapters are centred in one of each ESS.
Chemical energy storage systems are sometimes classified according to the energy they consume, e.g., as electrochemical energy storage when they consume electrical energy, and as thermochemical energy storage when they consume thermal energy.
For example, some reviews focus only on energy storage types for a given application such as those for utility applications. Other reviews focus only on electrical energy storage systems without reporting thermal energy storage types or hydrogen energy systems and vice versa.
Zakeri and Syri also report that the most cost-efficient energy storage systems are pumped hydro and compressed air energy systems for bulk energy storage, and flywheels for power quality and frequency regulation applications.
