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.
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 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.
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.
The most prominent example of large-scale mechanical storage is pumped hydroelectric storage, which is the most widely used solution for electrical energy storage today. Because of its importance, this technology is described in a separate section. This section focuses on the other concepts based on mechanical energy storage.
