Flywheel batteries are also known as flywheel generators. Flywheel battery is a method of storing energy in the rotational energy of large wheels preserved in a vacuum. They are used as a way of storing and releasing large amounts of electrical energy. Flywheels batteries are frequently supported by magnetic bearings that don’t require any exterior power input. Flywheel batteries are able to store large amounts of energy, and it contains almost unlimited lifespan, unlimited recharges, and economically clean nature.
Flywheel batteries have high storage capacities comparable to batteries and fast free rates. They are mainly used to supply load leveling for large battery systems, like an uninterruptible power supply for data centers. The main advantage of flywheels is through the simple measurement of the rotation speed it is possible to know the exact amount of energy stored. Flywheel batteries can store kilowatt-hours worth of electricity. Flywheel batteries are also be useful in providing power back-ups to installations, building, and private homes.
