PREFACE
The International Assembly on Energy Storage took place at the Hotel Libertas,
Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia during 27 May - 1 June 1979. It was the first
international gathering of industrial, academic, and government experts to
discuss all facets of energy storage: electrochemical, thermochemical and
thermal, photochemical, and mechanical. In addition to panel sessions and
lectures in these four areas, there were assessments using techno-economic
models of the impact of various aspects of energy storage. Responses to a
questionnaire circulated to the participants reveal that they adjudged the
conference to be an outstanding success.
This volume contains three main sections. The first consists of the plenary
lectures; which are designed to summarize the progress, problems, and future
opportunities in various areas of energy storage technology. The second
consists of Summary Proceedings. It was compiled mainly at the conference site
and includes summaries of both the papers and discussions at the plenary and
panel sessions. The last section consists of the papers presented during the
panel sessions.
As Secretary-General of the Assembly and editor of its publications, I am
pleased to acknowledge the contributions by various agencies and people to the
success of the meeting and to the production of these proceedings. First there
is the National Academy of Sciences (USA) and the Council of Academies of
Science (Yugoslavia) for their sponsorship of the conference; Prof. C. Newton
and Prof. L. Rakic were particularly helpful as representatives of the two
sponsors. Dr. G. Pezdirtz, Director of the U. S. Department of Energy's Division
of Energy Storage, is the originator of and the guiding spirit behind the
conference. Prof. A. Despic and Dr. R. Smelt, the co-chairmen of the meeting,
are noteworthy for their major roles in the organization and conduct of the
conference. Dr. DeMarquis Wyatt, Secretary of the National Academy of Sciences'
Committee on Advanced Energy Storage Systems, played an important role in all
scientific aspects of the meeting including the publications; he also proved to
be a genial banquet chairman. The noted science fiction writer, Mr. Frederik
Pohl, lived up to his reputation with an original and stimulating banquet
address. We were ably assisted in the pre-conference logistics of the Assembly
by Mr. H. Lowitt and Ms. C. Rice; the services of both were provided by
Resource Planning Associates (RPA), Inc. Mr. N. Ostojic of the Serbian
Administration for International Scientific, Educational, Cultural and Technical
Cooperation managed the proceedings at the Hotel Libertas with exceptional

skill. Special thanks are due to Mrs. W. Stevens for the direction of all aspects
of the publications; she was ably assisted by Mrs. C. M. Chappas.
Also, the RPA rapporteurs did an outstanding job in preparing the first draft
of the Summary Proceedings, and in assisting the panel chairmen in the
preparation of the panel reports.
Finally, I acknowledge with sincere gratitude the cooperation of the
participants in making the conference a success and providing a written record
of the papers presented. I believe their contributions will prove to be of great
benefit to all who work in the important field of energy storage.
