Could Flywheels Be the Future of Energy Storage?

On a high level, flywheel energy storage systems have two major components: a rotor (i.e., flywheel) and an electric motor. These systems work by having the electric motor accelerate the rotor to high speeds, effectively converting the original electrical energy into a stored form of rotational energy (i.e., angular momentum). The flywheel continues to store

What is Flywheel Energy Storage?

Electric energy is supplied into flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) and stored as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as the "energy of motion," in this situation, the motion of a rotating mass known as a rotor, rotates in a near-frictionless environment. When utility power is lost or fluctuates, the inertia of the rotor permits it to continue spinning, converting the
