Flywheels, one of the earliest forms of energy storage, could play a significant role in the transformation of the electri-cal power system into one that is fully sustainable yet low cost.
Flywheel storage technology offers several advantages over conventional energy storage methods. It has a higher energy density and longer lifespan compared to lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, flywheels have a lower environmental impact since they do not use toxic chemicals and can maintain operational efficiency for 20-30 years.
Electric vehicles are typical representatives of new energy vehicle technology applications, which are developing rapidly and the market is huge. Flywheel energy storage systems can be mainly used in the field of electric vehicle charging stations and on-board flywheels.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
Previously, the largest flywheel energy storage system was the Beacon Power flywheel station in Stephentown, New York, with a capacity of 20 MW.
