However, our primary near term focus is the use of flywheel energy storage to enable a solar powered high altitude long endurance (HALE) air vehicle to stay aloft for an

Development of a High Specific Energy Flywheel Module,

As the flywheel is discharged and spun down, the stored rotational energy is transferred back into electrical energy by the motor — now reversed to work as a generator. In this way, the

$200 Million For Renewables-Friendly Flywheel Energy Storage

Despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy this year, the Energy Department is continuing to support the commercialization of next-generation flywheel systems.

Flywheel storage power system

A grid-scale flywheel energy storage system is able to respond to grid operator control signal in seconds and able to absorb the power fluctuation for as long as 15 minutes.
