GSOE9111: Energy Storage

GSOE9111: Energy Storage

Following this assessment students will be able to recognize, describe and investigate one or more energy storage systems to assess their feasibility and integration in the context of techno-economic- political-environmental impact. Students are expected to comprehend the engineering principles of the chosen energy storage system and it's integration with an application and/or generation system, and then prepare the presentation using slides or videos.

Students will be offered the opportunity to communicate/discuss their knowledge and knowhow with a panel of experts in energy storage research. The panel will evaluate the depth and breadth of the students' comprehension of the energy storage technology of their choice. Students will receive immediate feedback on their learning outcomes.
