Flywheel energy storage
OverviewApplicationsMain componentsPhysical characteristicsComparison to electric batteriesSee alsoFurther readingExternal links
In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywhe…

Making a Case for Flywheel Energy Storage
Today''s cost for advanced lithium batteries (one of the leading energy storage candidates) capable of storing 1 MWh of electricity is about $2 million, about the same capital cost per megawatt-hour as the wind turbine. So if a 1 MW-rated turbine has good wind and is able to produce its megawatt hour rating for 10 hours it will produce 10 …

Flywheel energy storage technologies for wind energy systems
Low-speed flywheels, with typical operating speeds up to 6000 rev/min, are constructed with steel rotors and conventional bearings. For example, a typical flywheel system with steel rotor developed in the 1980s for wind–diesel applications had energy storage capacity around 2 kW h @ 5000 rev/min, and rated power 45 kW.
