Technical FAQs 4

How does a superconducting flywheel energy storage system work?

In contrast to SMES, superconducting flywheel energy storage systems store energy in the form of kinetic energy. The system uses a motor to spin a rotor at high speed, converting electrical energy into rotational energy. When energy is needed, the motor acts as a generator, converting the rotor’s kinetic energy back into electricity.

Which flywheel is suitable for energy storage?

The flywheel comprising of magnetic and supercon-ducting bearings is fit for energy storage. Supercon-ducting energy storage flywheel can be used in space for energy storage, attitude control for satellites.

How many types of high-temperature superconducting energy storage flywheels are there?
