Commercially available flywheel energy storage

4 FAQs about [Commercially available flywheel energy storage]

Are flywheel energy storages commercially available?

Flywheel energy storages are commercially available (TRL 9) but have not yet experienced large-scale commercialisation due to their cost disadvantages in comparison with battery storages (higher investment, lower energy density). Another challenge is the comparably high standby loss in FESS caused by the magnetic drag of the motor-generator.

What is a flywheel energy storage system (fess)?

To solve this problem, London-based startup Levistor has developed an innovative Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS), which acts as a kinetic battery. This technology stores energy from the grid during periods of low demand and releases it rapidly when an EV needs a quick charge. It can deliver 100 miles of range in just five minutes.

Why do we need advanced flywheel energy storage systems?

This brings us to the pressing need for innovative solutions such as Advanced Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS), which offers a sustainable and efficient alternative. FESS offers unparalleled longevity and reliability, with lifespans exceeding 50,000 cycles and design lives of over 25 years.

How can flywheels be more competitive to batteries?

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.
