Flywheel Energy Storage Systems Decade Long
Driven by renewable energy integration and growing demand across UPS, grid, and transportation sectors, this report analyzes market
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.
Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
The EU's 2019 Energy Storage Directive initially categorized flywheels as “generation assets” rather than storage devices, subjecting them to double grid fees in Germany's balancing markets.
Energy storage flywheel systems are gaining traction due to their ability to deliver rapid energy discharge, high cycle life, and minimal environmental impact. Renewable energy integration stands as the largest driver, particularly in wind and solar power applications.
