The ESS course provides insights into the progress and challenges faced by energy storage systems. These systems have the potential of bridging the gap between the supply and demand of energy, especially in networks using a high proportion of renewable generation. Despite significant technical improvements over the last few years, storage markets are still in their infancy, and some energy storage system technologies face both economic and technological challenges.

The ESS training presents the most important energy storage options, with their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, the following examples of ESS are described in detail:

Mechanical storage; e.g. compressed air energy storage (CAES) or pumped hydro plants
Electrical storage; e.g. superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES)
Thermal storage (TES)
Electro-chemical storage (batteries)
Chemical storage (e.g. hydrogen)
