Abstract: Electrochemical energy storage has been instrumental in the technological evolution of human societies in the 20th century and continues to play an important role today. Electrochemical storage systems could be seen as a subgroup of chemical energy storage systems; they are sufficiently distinct from the four energy forms described herein that they can be given a separate class. Electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems, such as electrochemical capacitors, batteries and fuel cells, are considered the most important technologies proposing environmentally.....

Keywords: LiBs, SiBs, energy storage systems (ESSs); renewable sources of energy; electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems (EECSs); future prospects

Abstract: The transition to net zero energy systems has positioned the power sector at the forefront of global decarbonisation efforts. This study critically examines the technological, economic, policy, and social dimensions influencing the decarbonisation of the power sector. Using a systematic literature review and secondary data analysis, it identifies the structural barriers and enabling opportunities shaping the global energy transition. Results reveal that while renewable energy capacity—especially solar and wind—has expanded rapidly, fossil fuels remain dominant.....

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of soils is relevant to geotechnical, structural, seismic, transportation, and machine-foundation engineering. Although continuum and finite-element formulations provide detailed descriptions of soil behavior, reduced-order models remain valuable for preliminary analysis, parameter identification, control-oriented studies, and real-time simulation. This paper proposes a vertical soil-foundation representation based on an equivalent second-order mass-spring-damper system. The elements considered are the equivalent.....
