Why should you use flywheel energy storage?

This is inefficient and wastes energy. Our flywheel and battery energy storage systems capture, optimise, and reuse energy across a wide range of applications and industries. We founded Flybrid Systems in 2007 to increase the efficiency of Formula One cars using flywheel energy storage technology.

What is flywheel technology?

Flywheel technology is a method of energy storage that uses the principles of rotational kinetic energy. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores energy by spinning a rotor at very high speeds.

What is rotorvault's flywheel system for grid-scale energy storage?

RotorVault's Flywheel System for grid-scale energy storage lets you harvest energy efficiently and deliver it when it counts. Innovative combination of steel alloys and topological optimization of the flywheel shape. Boosting renewable energy use and cutting emissions by optimizing storage & reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

How many kWh can a flywheel hold?

The flywheel can hold a maximum of 32kwh of usable energy. (37kwh total). While it spins at fast speeds, we have worked with the OEMs and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to ensure that the enclosure we provide can withstand any catastrophic failure and ensure safety of any nearby people and property.

How long does a flywheel last?

This flywheel, when paired to a motor/generator unit, behaves like a battery and energy can be stored for hours and dispatched on demand. The system service life is 20 years, without limits to depth of discharge, charge cycles, or sensitivity to temperature extremes, using recyclable materials.

What is a peak power 200 flywheel?

The Peak Power 200 flywheel solution provides a rapid power boost, allowing you to downsize your generator, cutting emissions and costs. Many of our customers operate equipment with dynamic duty cycles, requiring motors to stop and start frequently. This is inefficient and wastes energy.
