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.
This results in the storage of kinetic energy. When energy is required, the motor functions as a generator, because the flywheel transfers rotational energy to it. This is converted back into electrical energy, thus completing the cycle. As the flywheel spins faster, it experiences greater force and thus stores more energy.

Energy Storage: The system features a flywheel made from a carbon fiber composite, which is both durable and capable of storing a lot of energy. A motor-generator unit uses electrical power to spin the flywheel up to high speeds. As it spins, the flywheel accumulates kinetic energy, similar to how a spinning top holds energy.
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.
Mechanical energy storage systems are very efficient in overcoming the intermittent aspect of renewable sources.
