Energy storage technologies, which are based on natural principles and developed via rigorous academic study, are essential for sustainable energy solutions. Mechanical systems such as flywheel, pumped hydro, and compressed air storage rely on inertia and gravitational potential to store and release energy.
This adds to the instability and risk of failure of local portions of the power grid. If we had more widespread, efficient energy storage, energy producers could save power above the expected power created locally instead of leaving power companies to turn on and off natural gas turbines to meet variation in demand.
