Mechanical storage systems work on the basis of storing available and off-peak excessive electricity in the form of mechanical energy. 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 exists in two primary forms: potential and kinetic. Systems such as pumped hydro storage (PHS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES) store potential energy while flywheel energy storage systems (FESs) store kinetic energy.
Mechanical energy storage systems such as PHS, CAES and GES can be used to compensate for unexpected contingencies for example the failure of a generating unit. In this application premium is placed on mechanical energy storage being able to charge or discharge within a very short interval of time (in milliseconds of time).
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.
Hence, mechanical energy storage systems can be deployed as a solution to this problem by ensuring that electrical energy is stored during times of high generation and supplied in time of high demand. This work presents a thorough study of mechanical energy storage systems.
