Flywheels are not as adversely affected by temperature changes, can operate at a much wider temperature range, and are not subject to many of the common failures of chemical rechargeable batteries. They are also less potentially damaging to the environment, being largely made of inert or benign materials. Another advantage of flywheels is that by a simple measurement of the rotation speed it is possible to know the exact amount of energy stored.
The hybrid advantage: Why flywheel-battery systems are grid
Flywheels are the opposite: not ideal for long-duration storage, but unmatched for fast response and power quality. Pair them wisely, and both technologies thrive. The concept
