1. Energy Storage
2017 by Gerard M Crawley
In a universe where energy refuses to stay put, Energy Storage is the indispensable guide to taming this slippery rascal. Gerard M. Crawley leads us on a delightfully intricate romp through the bizarre and baffling methods humans have devised to bottle the ineffable. From persuading electrons to linger in batteries to coaxing compressed air into behaving, this book explores the peculiar art of keeping the lights on when the sun takes a nap and the wind can't be bothered to blow. Along the way, it muses on the implications of swapping fossil-fueled jalopies for zippy, eco-friendly chariots powered by cunningly stored energy. Whether it’s hydro, flywheels, or fuel cells, this compendium provides just enough deeply insightful jargon to impress your friends, while sneakily pointing you towards even deeper dives. A must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered how to outwit entropy with a flywheel and a bit of bravado.

2. Computational Models for CO2 Geo-sequestration & Compressed Air Energy Storage
2014 by Rafid Al-Khoury, Jochen Bundschuh
In a universe not entirely unlike our own, where humans have managed to cram nearly eight billion of themselves onto a rather overworked blue planet, the authors of Computational Models for CO2 Geo-sequestration & Compressed Air Energy Storage embark on a quixotic journey through the baffling world of mathematics and computational wizardry. The book valiantly attempts to answer the great questions of life, the universe and how not to asphyxiate it with carbon dioxide while still having enough energy to microwave dinner. With a blend of meticulous science and an unmistakable sense that the planet deserves a stiff drink, it addresses the small matter of saving humanity from itself through models that are both precise and vaguely hopeful, assuming, of course, the models don’t first gain sentience and wander off in search of a better planet.

3. Large Energy Storage Systems Handbook
2011 by Frank S. Barnes, Jonah G. Levine
Imagine, if you will, a planet hurtling through the cosmos, blissfully ignoring the fact that its inhabitants are trying to bottle the wind, tether the sun and generally wrestle nature’s more unruly elements into submission—all while politely ignoring the bill. The Large Energy Storage Systems Handbook is a droll and highly technical guide for anyone brave enough to tackle the Herculean task of squeezing vast quantities of wind, solar and other renewables into the metaphorical sock drawer of the electrical grid. It's part how-to manual, part survival guide for navigating the economic quagmires, engineering head-scratchers and the occasional existential crisis of making tomorrow’s energy storage a thing you can actually plug into.
