China connects world''s largest flywheel energy
China has developed a massive 30-megawatt (MW) FESS
Previously, the largest flywheel energy storage system was the Beacon Power flywheel station in Stephentown, New York, with a capacity of 20 MW. Now, with Dinglun's 30 MW capacity, China has taken the lead in this sector. Flywheel storage technology offers several advantages over conventional energy storage methods.
Flywheel energy storage technology is a form of mechanical energy storage that works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as kinetic energy.
Compared to other mechanical energy storage technologies such as pumped hydro and compressed air, flywheel storage has higher energy and power density, higher efficiency, and rapid response. To continue reading, please visit our ESS News website.
