Technology: Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm.

In a flywheel energy storage system, electrical energy is used to spin a flywheel at incredibly high speeds. The flywheel, made of durable
One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs). Compared with other energy storage systems, FESSs offer numerous advantages, including a long lifespan,
In a flywheel energy storage system, electrical energy is used to spin a flywheel at incredibly high speeds. The flywheel, made of durable materials like composite carbon fiber, stores energy in
Flywheel generators are emerging as a prominent solution in backup power and energy storage. Contrary to conventional systems, flywheel technology saves energy in the form of kinetic
Our flywheel energy storage device is built to meet the needs of utility grid operators and C&I buildings. Torus Spin, our flywheel battery, stores energy kinetically. In doing so, it avoids
Imagine a giant, high-tech version of your childhood spinning top – that''s essentially flywheel energy storage in a nutshell. This mechanical battery (who needs chemicals
While batteries have been the traditional method, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are emerging as an innovative and potentially superior alternative, particularly in
While batteries have been the traditional method, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are emerging as an innovative and
A flywheel electric energy storage system consists of a cylinder with a shaft attached to an electrical generator. Using the flywheel''s rotational speed, the electric energy produced by the
A flywheel energy storage system is therefore functionally similar to a hydro power station, that stores gravitational energy in water. In that instance, an electric motor pumps
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher
Flywheel generators are emerging as a prominent solution in backup power and energy storage. Contrary to conventional systems, flywheel
