Alternative energy storage refers to the diverse technologies and methods used to store energy generated from renewable or alternative source

In our previous post we have discussed about Flywheel, its physics, gradual development and its rotor requirements. In this post we will discuss about type of Flywheels, their advantages and practical applications.

Flywheel as energy storage device is an age old concept. Calculation of energy storage in Flywheel and its rotor requirement are discussed.

We use Spring as Energy Storage Device since ages. Spring Energy Storage Equation, its uses as well as Disadvantages are discussed in this post.

Till now, we discussed Capacitor, Thermal battery, Pneumatic Battery, Springs, Flywheels etc. In this post, we will discuss Molten Salt Battery and Ice Battery. Molten Salt Battery As the name suggests, it contains a high capacity thermal salt. This type of battery absorbs the solar thermal...

Thermal Battery Technology employs inorganic salt electrolytes. The working principle and applications of different types of thermal batteries (Thermocouple and AMTEC) are explained.
