  2. Introduction • Energy storage is necessary for portable devices and transportation. • Grid storage is an increasingly necessary solution to problems with reliability and variable resources. • CALISO 33% integration tipping point • Most common types of electric energy storage: • Batteries (lead acid, lithium, redox flow) • Hydrogen • Pumped hydro • Compressed air • Flywheels • SMES • Supercapacitors [1] www.deeyaenergy.com [2] www.renewableenergyworld.com [3] www.maxwell.com

  3. BatteriesHistory & basic theory • The term “battery” was first used by Benjamin Franklin in the 1740’s to describe a set glass jar capacitors that would gather an electric charge via a static generator and store the charge until discharge. [1] • The first battery, the electric pile or voltaic pile, was created by Alessandro Volta in the 1790’s and consisted of a brine soaked cloth sandwiched between two metal discs.
