Flywheel Technology
Flywheels have been used to store and stabilise energy for centuries. Advances in bearing technology, power electronics and vacuum enclosures have resulted in improved performance on a number of key dimensions which characterise energy storage. These include power density, energy density, cycle life, temperature sensitivity, safety, cost and disposal/recycling.
