Mechanical Energy Storage Technologies (eBook)

Mechanical Energy Storage Technologies presents a comprehensive reference that systemically describes various mechanical energy storage technologies. State-of-the-art energy storage systems are outlined with basic formulation, utility, and detailed dynamic modeling examples, making each chapter a standalone module on storage technology. Each chapter includes a detailed mathematical model of the given energy storage system along with solved and unsolved examples, case studies, and prospects among emerging technologies and solutions for future energy systems. Giving a detailed understanding of why mechanical energy storage systems are useful, this book is a beneficial reference for anyone researching and working in mechanical energy storage systems.

• Covers advances in mechanical energy storage systems, both electricity and heat, in one reference
• Includes solved and unsolved examples for each storage technology
• Offers end-of-chapter summaries for each application
• Includes detailed mathematical models of each energy storage system examined

Dr. Arabkoohsar did both of his master's and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering, associated with Energy Conversion and Sustainability. In 2016, I joined the Department of Engineering of Aarhus University of Denmark as a postdoctoral fellow and then did his second postdoc at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. He started his new career as a faculty member of Department of Energy Technology of Aalborg University, Denmark in January 2018. His main field of research include Thermodynamic Modeling and Optimization of Thermal Energy Systems and Mechanical Energy Storage Systems. He has published over 40 articles in top-ranked international journals so far and he is acting as a reviewer and editorial board member of a number of international journals and conferences.
