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.
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.
Mechanical energy storage system especially FES can be deployed for the provision of short-duration power quality by supplying active power for very short duration in the range of 1–10 seconds. 7. Managing the high cost of mechanical energy storage systems
Mechanical energy storage systems include gravitational energy storage or pumped hydropower storage (PHPS), compressed air energy storage (CAES) and flywheels. The PHPS and CAES technologies can be used for large-scale utility energy storage while flywheels are more suitable for intermediate storage.
Compared to thermal energy storage methods, the number of review research works, linking mechanical storage systems to solar applications (or renewable energies in general) are considerably low (the most notable studies are mentioned in Section 1).
