Mechanical energy storage for photovoltaic/wind project. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5264629

This report describes the Solar Mechanical Energy Storage Program at the time that Lawrence Livermore Laboratory assumed the responsibility for it. It also presents contractor and system analyses results for residential flywheel energy-storage systems (FESS). Various phases of the program have addressed small-to-intermediate applications of photovoltaic/wind-energy storage using flywheels, compressed air, and low-head, underground pumped-hydro technologies. Sandia National Laboratories' recommendations for continued work in specific areas are included.
