This course will describe the background on existing energy storage solutions being used on the electric grid and in vehicles with a primary focus on batteries and electrochemical storage. It will discuss the operating characteristics, cost and efficiency of these technologies and how tradeoff decisions can be made. The course will describe the system-level integration of new storage technologies, including chargers, inverters, battery management systems and controls, into the existing vehicle and grid infrastructure. Specific focus will be given to the integration of electric vehicle charging combined with demand-side management, scheduled renewable energy absorption and local grid balancing. This course may be taken for 3 units; or 4 units if taken with the optional laboratory session.
