Mechanical Battery – Flywheel-Powered 90% Efficient Energy Storage

We have been so focused on chemical storage systems lately, that some us forget other old, seemingly more efficient, mechanical batteries. Such a battery is the flywheel. Several successful experiments have been carried out in the last 50 years, and the flywheel''s applications ranged from acting as a UPS for a hospital to putting an entire train to movement

Why O&M for energy storage is more complex than solar O&M

Unlike the solar PV sector where there''s often an attitude of "let''s sell the project first and worry about O&M later," storage projects must have services built in to the thinking and financial process from the beginning. With storage, a strong O&M plan and team become part and parcel of making and closing a strong productive deal, NEXTracker''s Marty Rogers argues.

Gravity-based batteries try to beat their chemical cousins

Lithium-ion batteries, the technology of choice for utility-scale energy storage, can charge and discharge only so many times before losing capacity—usually within a few years. But the components of gravity storage—winches, steel cables, and heavy weights—can hold up well for decades. "It''s mechanical engineering stuff," Schmidt says.
