Flywheel energy storage

The great thing about writing a regular blog is that reader feedback sometimes introduces me to new products and systems. So it was last week when I wrote about a company developing power grid electrical storage systems using lithium-ion battery technology. From a reader, I learned about another, very different approach for storing electricity to make the utility grid more stable and resilient: flywheels.

A flywheel can be viewed as a mechanical battery because it converts electrical energy into kinetic energy, which can be converted back when needed.
