R. rayyanmd2. This document discusses different types of mechanical energy storage. It describes three main types: pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and flywheels. PHS involves pumping water to a higher elevation and releasing it through turbines to generate electricity.

In the Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems, the energy is stored in form of pressure energy, by means of a compression of a gas (usually air) into a reservoir. When energy is required, the gas is expanded in a turbine and the energy stored in the gas is converted in mechanical energy available at the turbine shaft.
6.1 Introduction. There are two basic types of energy storage that result from the application of forces upon materials systems. One of these involves changes in potential energy, and the other involves changes in the motion of mass, and thus kinetic energy. This chapter focuses upon the major types of potential energy and kinetic energy storage.
