Flywheel Energy Storage: Alternative to Battery Storage

A flywheel energy storage system stores energy mechanically rather than chemically. It operates by converting electrical energy into rotational kinetic energy, where a heavy rotor (the flywheel) spins at high speed within a vacuum chamber. When energy is needed, the rotor slows down, converting its kinetic energy back into electrical energy
