Mechanical energy storage systems can be found either as pure mechanical (MESS) or combined with electrical (EMESS). The main difference is in the utilization of stored energy if it is directly used or transmitted via an electric motor-generator. Usually EMESSs are used to supply the grid with electricity.
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. High-tech materials
