4 FAQs about Flywheel energy storage 100KW

What is a flywheel energy storage system?

A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings.

How much power can a flywheel deliver?

Our design uses superconductive crystals to make our flywheel completely frictionless. The flywheel is safe, compact and can be placed in a regular shipping container. A single flywheel module is able to deliver 100kW and 5kWh. Over the next few years, we will ramp this up to higher power and energy specs per flywheel module.

How many kW can a single flywheel module deliver?

A single flywheel module is able to deliver 100 kW and 5 kWh. Courtesy: QuinteQ Energy QuinteQ's unique flywheel technology originated from Boeing's research for a U.S. government laser-based space defense program. Boeing developed and tested four prototypes, proving the technology's potential for high-power systems in space applications.

Does Beacon Power have a flywheel energy storage system?

In 2010, Beacon Power began testing of their Smart Energy 25 (Gen 4) flywheel energy storage system at a wind farm in Tehachapi, California. The system was part of a wind power and flywheel demonstration project being carried out for the California Energy Commission.
