While producing energy is relatively simple, storing it is an issue that needs to be resolved in order to render the use of renewable energy easier. Ordu's book presents a series of technological solutions for energy storage that are currently in use and cost-effective to a certain extent. These include: electrochemical (batteries and superconductors), mechanical, compressed air, hydraulic, hydrogen, and thermal. The authors consider each of these technologies in detail and compare them in terms of their respective fields of application. In this new edition, an introductory chapter on stationary storage has been included in addition to updated information regarding renewable energy and recent developments, such as electric cars and heat pumps, among others.
