HOME / UK Mobile Flywheel Energy Storage Project - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDNew flywheel technology can make this process greener. Researchers in the Energy Institute at the University of Sheffield are pioneering a dynamic energy storage system to better balance the UK electricity grid, leading to fewer power cuts, more efficient energy use and a more sustainable energy system for the UK.
Standalone flywheels for grid energy storage are an emerging technology, and although there have been some trials around the world, the reliability of the systems have either not been successful or the installation costs have been prohibitive for commercialisation.
The hybrid system, having been first tested in Ireland, is now installed at the University of Sheffield's grid testing facility at Willenhall near Wolverhampton. It comprises a 2MW/1MWh battery and a 600Kw / 10kWh flywheel system making it the largest hybrid battery-flywheel storage system in the UK.
The EFDA JET Fusion Flywheel Energy Storage System is a 400,000kW flywheel energy storage project located in Abingdon, England, the UK. The rated storage capacity of the project is 5,560kWh. The electro-mechanical battery storage project uses flywheel storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2006. The project is owned by EFDA-JET. 3.
