We investigate the economics of two emerging electric energy storage (EES) technologies: sodium sulfur batteries and flywheel energy storage systems in New York state's electricity market. These financing events enable developers to secure funds for innovative projects, 2. they enhance the integration capabilities of renewable energy sources, 3. Flywheels are used for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in data centers due to their instant response. . 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.
