Abstract
In the fields of electrical discipline, power electronics and pulsed power technology, the common used modes of energy transferring and energy storage include mechanical energy storage (MES), chemical energy storage (CHES), capacitive energy storage (CES), inductive energy storage (IES) and the hybrid energy storage (HES) [1-3]. The MES and CHES are important ways for energy storage employed by people since the early times. The MES transfers mechanical energy to pulse electromagnetic energy, and the typical MES devices include the generator for electricity. The CHES devices, such as batteries, transfer the chemical energy to electrical energy. The energy storage modes aforementioned usually combine with each other to form an HES mode. In our daily life, the MES and CHES usually need the help of other modes to deliver or transfer energy to drive the terminal loads. As a result, CES, IES and HES become the most important common used energy storage modes for users. So, these three energy storage modes are analyzed in detail as the central topics in this chapter.
