Flywheel Energy Storage for Grid and Industrial
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
Design of flywheel energy storage device with high specific energy
For the automotive use of flywheels, it is particularly important to increase the moment of inertia of the flywheel as much as possible while keeping the overall mass increase low. In order to improve the
Technology: Flywheel Energy Storage
Large synchronous flywheels are also used for energy storage, yet not to be mistaken with FESS. They use very large flywheels with a mass in the order of 100 tonnes. These are directly connected to a

Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10, up to 10, cycles of use), high specific energy (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The energy efficiency (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as round-trip efficiency, can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 kWh to 133 kWh. Rapid charging of
