Flywheel energy and power storage systems
Energy storage in flywheels. A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation.

Flywheel storage power system
A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
