Poor monitoring can seriously afect the performance of energy storage devices. Therefore, to maximize the eficiency of new energy storage devices without damaging the equipment, it is important to make full use of sensing systems to accurately monitor important parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, and strain.
Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Although almost all current energy storage capacity is in the form of pumped hydro and the ...
