Batteries, Super Capacitors
2) Chemical Storage (Cyril Bourasseau, CEA)
Hydrogen, Methanol, Ammonia
3) Thermal Storage (Rainer Tamme, DLR)
Advanced Fluids, PCM,
Thermochemical Heat Storage
4) Mechanical Storage (Atle Harby, Sintef)
Pumped Hydro, Fly wheels,
Compressed Air
5) Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (Mathias Noe, KIT)
6) Techno-Economics (Peter Hall,
Univ. of Strathclyde)

Background
Technical
Stationary Energy Storage supports commercial breakthroughs of renewable
energies (overcoming mismatch between energy output and demand, smooth
out fluctuations, load leveling)
Mobile energy storage technologies enable electromobility and transportation
as well as automotive starting, lighting, ignition technology
Thermal energy storage essential for heating/cooling and „green“ industrial
processing
Environmental
Advanced Energy Storage Technologies are essential for enabling a
worldwide transition to Low Carbon Economy by 2050.
By this the achievement of Energy and Climate Change goals is supported

Value added
• JP Energy Storage is in accordance, complementary and supportive
to other SET-Plan initiatives
• Strengthening the SET-Plan aims (e.g. 20-20-20 goals) and
establishes an energy technology policy for Europe i.e.
- Accelerates knowledge development, technology transfer and
up-take (Voice of the Customers; product oriented)
- Enables well-coordinated and efficient scientific and engineering
research by defining and using particular strengths of participants
- Maintains EU industrial leadership on low-carbon energy
technologies; Supports job creation
- Contributes to worldwide transition to low carbon economy by 2050
• Support of the Strategic Energy Technologies Information System
(SETIS)
• Collaboration with e.g. European Association for Storage of Energy
(EASE) and other related initiatives

•Pumped-hydro energy storage
− Stores energy as potential energy
− Energy density (1 kWh/m³ at 360 m height)
− Efficiency (70-80 %)
•Flywheel
− Stores energy as kinetic energy
