Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Energy storage technologies for integration of renewable energy, improvement of energy efficiency and energy handling for reduction of emissions are in focus. This course covers different categories of energy storage technologies that mainly include mechanical storing, thermal storing and electrochemical storing. The students will work with techno-economic aspects in
1. work principles
2. evaluation of performance and
3. control strategies for systems integration.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, students should be able to:
- Classify energy storage technologies
- Conceptualise and design energy storage systems with appropriate control strategies
- Evaluate techno-economic, social and environmental performance with Performance Indicators (Key Performance Indicators, KPI)
- Suggest business scenarios with energy storage technologies
Learning activities
This course consists of
Lectures with in-class hands-on exercise solving.
Project where students will work in groups, the group reports will be peer reviewed and graded, a final oral presentation will be held with peer opposition.
Lab, where students will conduct two labs. The students will work in group with group lab report submission.
Preparations before course start
Specific preparations
This course is for students with engineering background in Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Energy Engineering. The course is open to all students in MSc., Swedish Civil Ing. and exchange/life long learning programs with appropriate knowledge background.

Examination and completion
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- LABA - Lab work, 2.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
- PROA - Project, 2.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- TENA - Exam written, 2.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The section below is not retrieved from the course syllabus:
LABA - Lab work, 2.0 credits
PROA - Project, 2.0 credits
TENA - Exam written, 2.0 credits
On a 100 points scale, here A is 90 points and above, B is 80 points and above, C is 70 points and above, D is 60 and above, E is 50 and above.
The exam consists of two parts. The essay part is given with one week of writing time; the calculation section will be a fixed two hours examination.
Course grade = [(TENA grade) x 2 + (PROA grade) x 2]/4).
