Energy Storage Technologies and Applications

In a broad overview of different energy storage technologies from the past and into the future, Hoff takes a critical look at the advantages and disadvantages of various technologies as well as the different applications of energy storage in order to determine the attributes that are most important for choosing which technology to use. He provides a brief history of storing energy using electricity, then covers applications of energy storage on the grid, mechanical energy storage, hydroelectric energy storage, thermodynamic energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, and the value and costs of energy storage.
