Home energy storage refers to residential energy storage devices that store electrical energy locally for later consumption. Usually, electricity is stored in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, controlled by intelligent software to handle charging and discharging cycles. Companies are also developing. .
Automotive companiesThere has been a trend of automotive companies cooperating with other leaders in the energy industry in order to develop home energy storage. .
Environmental impact of batteriesLithium-ion batteries, a popular choice due to their relatively high and lack of , are difficult to .

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and. .
