Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. Explain the thermodynamic, electro-chemical, and mechanical principles underlying major energy storage technologies.
2. Evaluate and compare storage systems based on key metrics (e.g., energy density, power density, cycle life, round-trip efficiency).
3. Design basic models for storage system performance using analytical and simulation tools.
4. Analyze the integration of storage technologies into renewable energy systems, considering economic, environmental, and safety factors.
5. Apply critical thinking to solve real-world problems through literature review, data analysis, and collaborative project work.
6. Communicate technical concepts effectively via reports and presentations.
