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 tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.OverviewFlywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor () to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotatio. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction an.

Lithium-ion batteries: The Beyoncé of energy storage—popular but pricey. In Antananarivo, a 5kWh system costs around 12 million MGA (≈ $2,600). Yes, it’s steep, but lifespan (10+ years) and efficiency (95%) justify the splurge [1] [10]. Lead-acid batteries: The local "vazaha" favorite. Read MoreDownload files
In a significant move toward energy independence and climate resilience, Saint Lucia is preparing to launch its second industrial-scale solar project—a 10 MW photovoltaic installation paired with a 26 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS). Read MoreDownload files
