Energy Storage: A New Approach.

This book presents the latest advances in thermal energy storage development at both the materials and systems level. It covers various fields of application, including domestic, industrial and transport, as well as diverse technologies, such as sensible, latent and thermochemical.

This book discusses the theory and practical aspects of Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a promising technology used to transfer electric energy from a transmitter to a receiver wirelessly without wires through various methods and technologies using time-varying electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields. It is an attractive solution for many industrial applications due to its many benefits over wired connections.

Featuring a detailed analysis of current approval requirements and the relevant safety assessment methods for gas cylinders in general and with main focus on composite cylinders for storing compressed natural gas and hydrogen, this book demonstrates how current regulations and standards limit the ability to reduce cost and weight. Based on this data, it then highlights the potential offered by the proposed approval procedure based on probabilistic safety assessment
After addressing the economic potential of probabilistic safety assessments, the book details working procedures and improving cycles and (slow) bursts as methods for assessing residual strength.
