About Flywheel Energy Storage

A flywheel energy storage system is a mechanical battery that stores kinetic energy in the form of a rotating mass. In the flywheel energy storage system, a flywheel or rotor is accelerated at a high speed and the energy is maintained as rotational energy. The speed of this system is reduced when the energy is extracted from the system. Flywheel energy storage systems have a longer life, are more reliable, require less maintenance, and have increased efficiency when compared to other energy storage systems.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global flywheel energy storage market to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% during the period 2016-2020.
