5 FAQs about [Kinetic energy storage system Tunisia]
What is kinetic energy storage system?
Kinetic Energy Storage Systems (KESS) transform electrical energy into kinetic energy or kinetic energy into electrical energy. The aim is to store electrical energy when it is not used by other devices and to provide those devices with electrical energy when they need it.
