What is a flywheel energy storage system?

ELYTT ENERGY designs and manufactures advanced Flywheels Energy Storage Systems that provide ride-through power and voltage stabilization for power quality and power recycling applications. Our Flywheel products are: Kinetic Energy Storage Systems (KESS) transform electrical energy into kinetic energy or kinetic energy into electrical energy.

What is flywheel technology?

Flywheel technology is a method of energy storage that uses the principles of rotational kinetic energy. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores energy by spinning a rotor at very high speeds.

What is a power Thu flywheel?

Designed to provide high-power output and energy storage in a compact, self-contained package, POWER THRU flywheel products are a long-lasting, low-maintenance, lightweight, and environmentally-sound alternative to flooded and valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

How does a Beacon flywheel generate electricity?

Beacon’s flywheel is a mechanical battery that stores kinetic energy in a rotating mass. Advanced power electronics and a motor/generator convert this stored energy to electric energy, making it instantly available when needed.

Why do we use flywheels?

By providing multiple cycles of kinetic energy without chemical degradation, our flywheels are uniquly suited to support the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable renewable generation. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

How long does a flywheel last?

This flywheel, when paired to a motor/generator unit, behaves like a battery and energy can be stored for hours and dispatched on demand. The system service life is 20 years, without limits to depth of discharge, charge cycles, or sensitivity to temperature extremes, using recyclable materials.
