MJ2386 Energy Storage Technology 6.0 credits

After passing the course, students should be able to:

1. Classify energy storage technologies
2. Conceptualise and design energy storage systems with appropriate control strategies
3. Evaluate techno-economic, social and environmental performance with Performance Indicators (Key Performance Indicators, KPI)
4. Suggest business scenarios with energy storage technologies

Energy storage technologies for integration of renewable energy, improvement of energy efficiency and energy handling for reduction of emissions are in focus. This course covers different categories of energy storage technologies that mainly include mechanical storing, thermal storing and electrochemical storing. The students will work with techno-economic aspects in
1. work principles
2. evaluation of performance and
3. control strategies for systems integration.

Degree of Bachelor/3 year engineering degree, prior knowledge in thermodynamics (equivalent to the course MJ1112), electrical engineering and heat transfer (equivalent to the course MJ1401) and energy engineering.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LABA - Lab work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• PROA - Project, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TENA - Exam written, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
