Importance and Modes of Energy Storage

  • Chapter
Solar Thermal Energy Storage

  • 834 Accesses

Abstract

It has been estimated that if the present rate of population growth and exploitation of readily available stored energy in fossil fuels continues, then the fossil fuels may be depleted completely in a century or so. The scientists all over the world are in search of new and renewable energy sources. However, developing efficient and inexpensive energy storage devices is as important a field as developing new sources of energy.
