Description
Additive Manufacturing and Sustainable Energy Systems Construction explores the role of additive manufacturing in developing sustainable energy storage solutions. As the global reliance on electrification increases and population demands grow, innovative approaches to energy storage become critical. The book focuses on nonconventional technologies, with a detailed examination of compressed air energy storage systems as a versatile and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional batteries. Readers will find in-depth models for precise calculations, equipment design and selection, sizing, and real-world applications. The book also discusses the integration of compressed air systems with electrical generators, covering design parameters, connectivity options, and actuation methods. A distinctive feature is the emphasis on how additive manufacturing and 3D printing can streamline the design and production of pneumatic and electric machines, enabling the creation of integrated energy storage devices more efficiently. Fundamental topics such as energy conversion, compressible flow, and electrical machine design are thoroughly explained, along with advanced areas like digitalization using IoT, AI, and digital twins. Practical case studies, including the development of a 3D-printed air motor and permanent magnet generator, illustrate real-life applications of these cutting-edge technologies. Ideal for engineers, researchers, and students, this book provides essential insights into designing and implementing next-generation energy storage solutions. It highlights how additive manufacturing and sustainable construction practices can advance energy systems, helping to meet future energy needs while supporting global sustainability goals.
