Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.5.1 Future energy systems towards 2050

Course subject(s) 2. Flexibility Through Energy Storage & Demand Side Management

“We must continue research into new forms of energy and into more efficient use of existing energy sources.”

-Mac Thornberry, former American poltician

To make our energy systems completely fossil free, it is essential to also look for other forms of energy besides electricity. Instead of storing energy electrically, the energy can as be stored chemically in molecules. This concept is called “Power-to-X-to-Power” and is discussed in this lecture. The need and the definition are explained, and the concept is applied to three different molecules.
