This course aims to enable students to :
- Identify the optimal solutions to any potential energy storage application, whether in the electrical, heat or transport sector
- Determine the main parameters of a storage system by applying thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer and chemistry
- Able to evaluate the storage process (based on mass and energy balances, calculation of efficiencies)
- Cooperate in a team to discover challenges and bottlenecks in the application of each technologies
