3. Abstract—The rapid development of renewable energy generation and electrified transportation has posed tremendous risks and challenges on the modern power system. To suppress the increasing level of stability issues and to improve the capability for flexible operation, it is important to integrate energy storage technology in power system that enables the electricity to be stored and used later. Advanced physical energy storage includes pumped hydro energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, and solid gravity energy storage etc., which covers a wide range of applications with different demands on power and discharging duration and shows significant advantages to be utilized in power system.

4. Content- To improve the performance of physical energy storage devices and to promote the industrialization, further researches on relating techniques and apparatus from different perspectives including concepts, topology, design, modelling, control, and operation are required. The purpose of this track is to provide a platform for researchers to share their cutting-edge progress on physical energy storage techniques and apparatus.
