What are the advantages of flywheel energy storage systems compared to other power storage technologies

　　Flywheel energy storage technology is an energy storage technology that accelerates the flywheel (rotor) to a very high speed and stores the energy in the system as the rotational energy (angular kinetic energy) of the rotor.

　　The biggest advantage of a flywheel energy storage system is its extremely fast charging speed, which can increase the rotor speed to its maximum within a few minutes, reaching its energy storage capacity limit. Compared with other power storage technologies, flywheel energy storage systems have the following advantages:

　　1. Very long service life: The new generation of flywheel energy storage systems generally use magnetic bearings, which allows the flywheel energy storage system to operate stably for decades with almost no maintenance required.

　　2. Multiple charging times for energy storage: Generally, lithium batteries only charge a few thousand times, but flywheel energy storage systems can charge 100000 to 1 million times or more.

　　3. High energy density: Flywheel energy storage technology has a very high energy density, approximately 100-130W · h/kg, or 360-500kJ/kg.

　　4. Very high maximum power input/output: The flywheel energy storage system has a very fast charging speed, and currently a typical flywheel energy storage system has a capacity range of approximately 3kWh to 133kWh, which can be charged in 15 minutes. At the same time, all of this energy can be released in a very short period of time.
