Abstract
This chapter presents the working principles and applications of electrostatic, magnetic and thermal energy storage systems. Electrostatic energy storage systems use supercapacitors to store energy in the form of electrostatic field. Magnetic energy storage uses magnetic coils that can store energy in the form of electromagnetic field. Large flowing currents in the coils are necessary to store a significant amount of energy and consequently the losses, which are proportional to the current squared, will also be high. Thus, the focus on superconducting coils is important as the resistance of the coils becomes zero in the superconductivity state. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used later for heating and cooling applications and power generation.
