Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces to store inputted energy. While the physics of mechanical systems are often quite simple (e.g. spin a flywheel or lift weights up a hill), the technologies that enable the efficient and effective use of these forces are particularly advanced.
Mechanical energy storage can be added to many types of systems that use heat, water or air with compressors, turbines, and other machinery, providing an alternative to battery storage, and enabling clean power to be stored for days. Explore energy storage resources Simple physics meets advanced technology.
These include deployment of hybrid energy storage technologies, multi-functional applications of mechanical energy storage systems through appropriate control methodologies and proper sizing strategies for cost effectiveness and increased penetrations of renewable energy sources in the power grid. Block diagram of mechanical energy storage systems.
Mechanical energy storage systems are very efficient in overcoming the intermittent aspect of renewable sources. Flywheel, pumped hydro and compressed air are investigated as mechanical energy storage. Parameters that affect the coupling of mechanical storage systems with solar and wind energies are studied.
Once the demand for electricity power overcome the available energy supply, the stored energy would be release to meet with the energy demand. Mechanical energy storage can be classified into three major types: Compressed air storage, Flywheel Storage and Pumped Storage.
