Learn about the main types of energy storage technologies, including batteries, thermal, mechanical, and chemical systems used in modern industries.
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.
Unlike thermal storage, mechanical energy storage enables the direct storage of exergy. An attractive feature of the various types of mechanical energy storage is the simplicity of the basic concept. The challenge in developing mechanical storage systems is often the limited storage density, which is lower than most other energy storage concepts.
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 can be classified into three major types: Compressed air storage, Flywheel Storage and Pumped Storage. But since pumped storage is the only mechanical type using water as its storage medium, this paper is solely focused on this technology.
The challenge in developing mechanical storage systems is often the limited storage density, which is lower than most other energy storage concepts. For example, a system based on gravitational energy storage requires a change in altitude of 360 m for a mass of 1 t to store 1 kWh.
By contrast, the concept of multi-functional energy storage systems is gaining momentum towards integrating energy storage with hundreds of new types of home appliances, electric vehicles, smart grids, and demand-side management, which are an effective method as a complete recipe for increasing flexibility, resistance, and endurance.
