The 30 MW plant is the first utility-scale, grid-connected flywheel energy storage project in China and the largest one in the world. From ESS News China has connected to the grid its first large-scale standalone flywheel energy storage project in Shanxi Province’s city of Changzhi.
Flywheel energy storage technology is a mechanical energy storage form. It works by accelerating the rotor (flywheel) at a very high speed. This maintains the energy as kinetic energy in the system. This technology has high power and energy density, rapid response and is highly efficient in comparison to pumped hydro or compressed air.
The project was developed and financed by Shenzen Energy Group. Image: Shenzen Energy Group. A project in China, claimed as the largest flywheel energy storage system in the world, has been connected to the grid.
