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.
These include deployment of hybrid energy storage technologies, multi-functional applications of mechanical energy storage systems through appropriate control methodologies and proper sizing strategies for cost effectiveness and increased penetrations of renewable energy sources in the power grid. Block diagram of mechanical energy storage systems.
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.
The key mechanical storage devices. These include deployment of hybrid energy storage tech- and increased penetrations of renewable energy sources in the power grid. 1.

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
In mechanical energy storage system (MESS), there is a conversion of energy from mechanical to electrical form . In times of low energy demands, electrical energy is taken from the grid and stored until the time of high demand when it is then converted back to electrical energy and transmitted back to the grid .
