Storage systems, including electrochemical and power-to-gas, and their interfaces with grids

The more ambitious the decarbonisation goals become, the more important energy storage is. The increasing penetration of non-programmable renewable energy sources (NPRESs) and the growing electrification of transport lead to a number of challenges related to the stability and flexibility of the national electrical system. The need to store excess renewable energy for later use where and when it is needed becomes evident.

The several storage solutions available can be distinguished based on the energy they store: electrical, electrochemical, chemical, mechanical or thermal. This project deals with the technological development of storage systems for electrochemical and electrical (batteries and supercapacitors), chemical or Power-to-Gas (production and storage of natural gas and hydrogen) or thermal energy (storage of heat produced from renewable sources) .
