Energy storage is an enabling technology for various applications such as power peak shaving, renewable energy utilization, enhanced building energy systems, and advanced transportation. Energy storage systems can be categorized according to application.
They also intend to effect the potential advancements in storage of energy by advancing energy sources. Renewable energy integration and decarbonization of world energy systems are made possible by the use of energy storage technologies.
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).
Chemical energy storage systems, such as molten salt and metal-air batteries, offer promising solutions for energy storage with unique advantages. This section explores the technical and economic schemes for these storage technologies and their potential for problem-solving applications.
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
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.

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic. En…
