Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion
Using electric energy on all scales is practically impossible
Electrochemical storage systems, encompassing technologies from lithium-ion batteries and flow batteries to emerging sodium-based systems, have demonstrated promising capabilities in addressing these integration challenges through their versatility and rapid response characteristics.
With a conversion step, energy is stored as chemical energy in the electrode and/or the electrolyte solution when electrochemical energy storage and conversion are considered (mode 2 in Fig. 1.1). These basic facts are sketched above in Fig. 1.1. Basic modes of electric energy storage
The integration of battery storage systems into grid applications requires comprehensive evaluation across multiple performance dimensions beyond basic electrochemical characteristics. Grid support capabilities must meet stringent requirements for frequency regulation, with modern systems achieving high accuracy in power delivery.
Basic modes of electric energy storage Electrochemistry supports both options: in supercapacitors (SCs) of the electrochemical double layer type (see Chap. 7), mode 1 is operating; in a secondary battery or redox flow battery (see Chap. 21), mode 2.
