Almost all the existing flywheel systems are designed for specific applications such as frequency regulation or UPS. They require specialized knowledge and techniques for manufacture, assembly, and maintenance, which prevents them from being produced in large quantities to reduce cost per unit.
Flywheels also have the least environmental impact amongst the three technologies, since it contains no chemicals. It makes FESS a good candidate for electrical grid regulation to improve distribution efficiency and smoothing power output from renewable energy sources like wind/solar farms.
