Flywheel energy storage in parallel

Technology: Flywheel Energy Storage

Large synchronous flywheels are also used for energy storage, yet not to be mistaken with FESS. They use very large flywheels with a mass in the order of 100 tonnes.

Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10, up to 10, cycles of use), high specific energy (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The energy efficiency (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as round-trip efficiency, can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 kWh to 133 kWh. Rapid charging of
