FAQS 4

What is a flywheel energy storage system?

The system can respond instantly, unlike battery storage. However on the downside, flywheel energy storage systems have low energy storage density per unit of weight and volume. Beacon Power operates a 25 kilowatt / 100 kilowatt-hour system in New York. The 200 flywheels reach 15,000 revolutions per minute at peak speed.

Can a flywheel energy storage system maintain power grid frequency?

Several innovative power utilities already use flywheel storage systems to maintain power grid frequency. Renewable energy is knocking on flywheel energy’s door. The system can respond instantly, unlike battery storage. However on the downside, flywheel energy storage systems have low energy storage density per unit of weight and volume.

Do power utilities need a flywheel storage system?

Power utilities need innovative ways to store renewable wind and solar energy, during low demand periods, so they can release it after sunset when demand is high. Several innovative power utilities already use flywheel storage systems to maintain power grid frequency. Renewable energy is knocking on flywheel energy’s door.

How much energy does a flywheel produce?

The net energy ratios of steel and composite flywheels are 2.5–3.5 and 2.7–3.8. The GHG emissions of steel and composite flywheels are 75–121 and 49–95 kg CO 2 eq/MWh. Flywheel energy storage systems are feasible for short-duration applications, which are crucial for the reliability of an electrical grid with large renewable energy penetration.
