Flywheel energy storage system use is increasing, which has encouraged research in design improvement, performance optimization, and cost analysis. However, the system's environmental impacts for utility applications have not been widely studied.
This project explored flywheel energy storage R&D to reach commercial viability for utility scale energy storage. This required advancing the design, manufacturing capability, system cost, storage capacity, efficiency, reliability, safety, and system level operation of flywheel energy storage technology.
In contrast to many other energy storage technologies, flywheel systems have few adverse environmental impacts. Hazardous materials are generally not found in flywheel construction. The machines operate without emissions .
Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.
