This online engineering PDH course presents an abridged version of the Department of Energy�s 2022 Grid Energy Storage Technology Cost and Performance Assessment. The Assessment is part of DOE�s effort to provide a standardized approach to analyzing the cost elements of grid energy storage technologies, engaging industry to identify these various cost elements, and projecting 2030 costs based on each technology�s current state of development. Some of the technologies are relatively unknown except to specialists in the field, for example, gravity-based storage systems consisting of heavy bricks lifted by a crane, a heavy piston lifted by pressurized water in a mine shaft, or heavily-loaded railroad cars moved up a hill. Other technologies such as batteries of various types, compressed-air energy storage, pumped storage hydropower, thermal energy storage and hydrogen are also considered.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
