Flywheel Energy Storage Market Size, Share & Growth Report 2032
Leading companies such as Amber Kinetics, Beacon Power, Stornetic GmbH, and VYCON focus on modular, scalable designs and strategic collaborations with utilities and data centers.
Flywheel energy storage is a technology that stores kinetic energy in a rotating mass. When energy is needed, the flywheel's rotation is converted back into electrical energy. This process is highly efficient and allows for rapid charging and discharging cycles.
The EU's 2019 Energy Storage Directive initially categorized flywheels as “generation assets” rather than storage devices, subjecting them to double grid fees in Germany's balancing markets.
Energy storage flywheel systems are gaining traction due to their ability to deliver rapid energy discharge, high cycle life, and minimal environmental impact. Renewable energy integration stands as the largest driver, particularly in wind and solar power applications.
2. Renewable Energy Integration These systems are particularly effective for integrating renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Flywheels can store excess energy generated during peak production times and release it when generation is low, ensuring a consistent energy supply.
