Abstract

It is always desirable to de-couple the generation and the use of electrical energy, for example, to power mobile devices, to provide remote energy power support, or to simply spread electricity demand evenly over the daily cycle. This is achieved by using some form of an electrical energy storage system. Nowadays there are many such systems available each with its own cost, efficiency, and suitability for different applications with developments continuing all the time. This survey will aim to summarize the available electrical energy storage devices (ESD), assessing their general advantages and disadvantages, reviewing their main applications available focusing on the storage of energy for electrical purposes. Finally a detailed survey is given for Fuel cells to be used in energy storage as well as in more clean and efficient energy production.
