Key storage technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels are examined for their technical and economic capabilities to provide synthetic inertia and support
As energy demand fluctuates, inertial energy storage allows for a more responsive and flexible energy utility, ensuring a balanced load during peak and off-peak times.
Flywheels can be used as an energy storage device, directly in mechanical contexts (echoing the sewing machines and spinning wheels of the past), to add inertia into power grids, or to recuperate energy that would otherwise
That''s inertia in action – and it''s the same physics that makes inertial energy storage systems tick. This technology converts electricity into rotational energy and stores it in

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th
Energy storage must be sensitive to the wide range of time scales. Inertia must be replaced in a decarbonised grid in order to ensure stability. A hybrid flywheel energy storage
