    PhD Candidate in Hybrid Energy Storage - Stockholm, Sverige - KTH - Royal Institute of Technology

    KTH Royal Institute of Technology background
    Beskrivning

    School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH

    Project

    Third-cycle subject: Electrical Engineering To combat climate change, the power grid is evolving and many countries around the world are increasing their utilization of energy storage systems. Energy storage systems can, at various levels of the power grid, provide different services directly to the user but also to the grid itself. However, not all types of storage systems are equally suitable in all situations, e.g., an inherently large power capability is not naturally coupled with a high energy capacity and vice versa. The approach of combining different types of storage systems is called hybrid energy storage system (HESS). This allows for more flexibility and opportunities but can, e.g., increase losses if not properly handled. The development of new electrochemical batteries, hydrogen storage and fuel cells, electrical vehicles (and their connection to the grid via Vehicle-to-Grid, V2G), new services and actors in the grid all allows for interesting possibilities where HESS can contribute. In this PhD project hybrid energy storage systems will be investigated for different applications in the grid, their ability to provide different services with optimized performance over time, reduced climate impact and/or maximized revenue possibilities. The student and project will be part of the research alliance StandUp for Energy . Supervision: Prof. Daniel Månsson
