The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the median pay for electrical engineers in 2020 was $103,390 per year. PayScale breaks down the numbers further to note that early career employees have a median salary of $71,800, while mid-career electrical engineers earn a median pay of $121,400.
As an example, a possible output energy density of 4.911 Wh/m 2, for a 600 vehicles/h traffic rate could produce 2.95 kWh electrical power along a 1 km road [59]. Other possibilities are using bridges as vibrational energy harvesters or speed bumps, or other sources of mechanical energy such as wave [48] and wind phenomena [34] .
The economic value of energy storage is closely tied to other major trends impacting today''s power system, most notably the increasing penetration of wind and solar generation. However, in some cases, the continued decline of wind and solar costs could negatively impact storage value, which could create pressure to reduce storage …

Fig. 2 shows a comparison of power rating and the discharge duration of EES technologies. The characterized timescales from one second to one year are highlighted. Fig. 2 indicates that except flywheels, all other mechanical EES technologies are suitable to operate at high power ratings and discharge for durations of over one hour.
Electrical Energy Storage is a process of converting electrical energy into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed (McLarnon and Cairns, 1989; Ibrahim et al., 2008 ). In this section, a technical comparison between the different types of energy storage systems is carried out.
Introduction Thirty years ago, hydrogen was identified as "a critical and indispensable element of a decarbonised, sustainable energy system" to provide secure, cost-effective and non-polluting energy. 1 Today, energy leaders see hydrogen as the lowest impact and least certain issue facing the global energy system. 2 "Hydrogen, as a …
