  • New electric energy storage flywheel

    New electric energy storage flywheel

    Beacon Power is developing a flywheel energy storage system that costs substantially less than existing flywheel technologies. Flywheels store the energy created by turning an internal rotor at high speeds-slowing the rotor releases the energy back to the grid when needed. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to. Flywheels have largely fallen off the energy storage news radar in recent years, their latter-day mechanical underpinnings eclipsed by the steady march of new and exotic battery chemistries for both mobile and stationary storage in the modern grid of the 21st century grid.
