4 FAQs about Jamaica Flywheel Energy Storage

What is a flywheel energy storage system?

Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to batteries, particularly in applications that require rapid response times and short-duration storage. For displacing solar power from midday to late afternoon and evening, flywheels provide a promising solution.

Are flywheels a viable energy solution?

Overall, the operating principles of flywheel technology underscore its potential as a robust energy solution. By mastering kinetic energy storage, efficient energy conversion processes, and effective management systems, flywheels are optimizing their role in the energy sector now and into the future.

How do fly wheels store energy?

Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.

Are flywheel energy storage systems a viable alternative to batteries?

This mismatch between supply and demand necessitates effective energy storage solutions. While batteries have been the traditional method, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are emerging as an innovative and potentially superior alternative, particularly in applications like time-shifting solar power.
