FAQS about Georgetown Flywheel Energy Storage
How does a flywheel energy storage system work?
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
Are flywheel energy storage systems feasible?
