Flywheel Energy Storage: A High-Efficiency Solution
By storing kinetic energy as the flywheel spins, energy can be rapidly discharged when needed. The robust design, reinforced by high-strength materials, ensures durability
Flywheel storage power system
In Stephentown, New York, Beacon Power operates in a flywheel storage power plant with 200 flywheels of 25 kWh capacity and 100 kW of power. Ganged together this gives 5 MWh capacity and 20 MW of power. The units operate at a peak speed at 15,000 rpm. The rotor flywheel consists of wound CFRP fibers which are filled with resin. The installation is intended primarily for frequency c
