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.
In this service, mechanical energy storage technologies, such as PHS, CAES, and GES are used to store energy during the time of excess production of power and to inject back energy into the grid during limited generation of power. In this service, power is delivered by the storage technology for several hours.
