Today, flywheel energy storage systems are used for ride-through energy for a variety of demanding applications surpassing chemical batteries.
As energy needs in a broad range of applications become more complex, those responsible for assuring reliable, clean, cost-effective energy supplies within their organizations are constantly looking for solutions that can increase efficiencies while enhancing energy reliability. In many cases, incorporating flywheel technology in a new or retrofit electrical system design can serve as an excellent foundation for achieving the sometimes-conflicting goals of maximizing dependability and reducing operating costs. With the added benefit of providing an environmentally friendly energy source, flywheels with a typical 20-year service life, are a clean, cost-effective solution for any application requiring “always on” power.
