DOE Energy Storage Technologies for Solar and Wind Power (2 credit hours/2 HSW Hours)
Wind and solar energy are intermittent sources of energy: the wind does not blow continuously nor does the sun always shine.  If wind and solar power are ever to provide a significant portion of national energy use, devices are required that store the energy as it is generated and distribute the energy as it is needed.  This 2 hour Webinar describes a number of such devices.  The three most promising technologies are singled out for detailed study: pumped storage hydropower (PSH), compressed-air energy storage (CAES), and high-energy batteries.  Issues of performance, site availability, costs, environmental impacts, the need for additional transmission lines, market development, and regulation are discussed.
Roger Messenger
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
  • Students will learn the characteristics of batteries, PSH, CAES, flywheels, capacitors, superconducting magnetic energy storage, vehicle-to-grid, and hydrogen energy storage.
  • Students will understand the concepts of power component and energy component of storage technologies.
  • Students will become familiar with the costs and performance of PSH, CAES, and high-energy batteries.
  • Students will become informed about site availability for PSH and CAES installations.
  • Students will understand environmental and social impacts (land and water use, greenhouse gas emissions).
  • Students will understand market and regulatory barriers to storage deployment.
