Flywheel energy storage system use is increasing, which has encouraged research in design improvement, performance optimization, and cost analysis. However, the system's environmental impacts for utility applications have not been widely studied.
This project aimed to advance flywheel energy storage technology to commercial viability for utility scale energy storage. To achieve this, the design, manufacturing capability, system cost, storage capacity, efficiency, reliability, safety, and system level operation of flywheel energy storage technology were all addressed in the R&D.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
