Aims of the teaching

The teaching intends to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge on several types of energy storage technologies and specific skills needed to optimally design and manage storage systems in light of techno-economic and environmental considerations. Following an introduction to the historical development of energy storage systems, the course thoroughly explores different storage technologies, among which Li-ion batteries, redox-flow batteries, electrolyzers, fly wheels, pumped-storage hydro-electricity, compressed air, phase change materials, etc. Both stationary and mobile applications are treated, also addressing their potential future development with respect to envisaged international energy strategies. During this course, students will have the opportunity to train their research and communication skills by properly exploiting the content of research papers, either in support to their assertions animating planned debates or to enhance the scientific impact of group projects that they will be asked to develop.
