The flywheel is modular and offers unparalleled configurability in terms of power to energy ratio, which makes it the first dynamic energy storage system whose discharge duration can be matched exactly to the customer’s needs.
Other opportunities for flywheels are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries.
In a 9-megawatt energy storage project, six flywheels have been installed in combination with a large battery to create an innovative hybrid storage system in Heerhugowaard, around 35 kilometers from Amsterdam.

The principle of flywheel energy storage FESS technology originates from aerospace technology. Its working principle is based on the use of electricity as the driving force to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high speed and store electrical energy in the form of mechanical energy.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) are a good candidate for electrical grid regulation. They can improve distribution efficiency and smooth power output from renewable energy sources like wind/solar farms. Additionally, flywheels have the least environmental impact amongst energy storage technologies, as they contain no chemicals.
