CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
56078	Lecture-Discussion	ESG	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	106B1 Engineering Hall	Ragheb, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/21/23-12/06/23 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Energy Storage Systems Section Info: Comprehensive coverage of energy storage and conveyance methodologies for nuclear and renewable systems in the context of the internet of Things (IOT) for power systems. The intermittence of renewable systems mandates the development of efficient energy storage and backups as well as conveyance systems for their effective implementation. Exhaustive coverage of energy storage technologies including: battery technologies encompassing primary and secondary electrochemical cells; lead acid, nickel-based, Li-ion batteries; advanced battery systems including reox/flow batteries, sulfur-sodium; hydrogen electrochemical cells and regenerative fuel cells including hydride storages, mechanical energy storage including flywheel, compressed-air and pumped hydraulic storage; thermal and chemical storage based on phase-change and medium enthapy-change reversible chemical reactions; and inductive storage in super capacitors and magnetic using superconducting magnets are covered. Social and economic aspects of storage technology and specific new development in storage technology are covered. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
