This course will cover operating principles and applications of energy storage and conversation systems. It will cover basic electrochemical and electrical behavior of solar cells, fuel cells, batteries and the state of the art, recent developments and electrical circuit-based modeling tools to analysis, simulate and design such systems. The thermodynamics of batteries and fuel cells will be also discussed. Prerequisites: undergraduate chemistry, knowledge of MATLAB/Python, solutions of ordinary differential equations and exposure to electrical linear circuits.
