6 FAQs about [Irish Flywheel Energy Storage]
Can short-duration flywheel energy storage improve grid stability?
We are optimistic about the potential in Ireland and Europe for short-duration flywheel energy storage as a key tool to help address the grid system stability impacts of leading implementation of renewable energy sources.
What is flywheel energy storage?
It has received the support of Beacon Power, LLC, a US based company and global leader in the design, development and commercial deployment of proven flywheel energy storage technology at the utility scale. Flywheel technology produces and stores small but highly flexible amounts of power to suit grid requirements.
Where is the world's largest flywheel now?
A real heavyweight in the energy transition is on its way to Ireland. On 14 April the world’s largest flywheel left the Siemens Energy factory in Muelheim, Germany, and is now on its way to the Moneypoint power station located in Southwest Ireland. A real heavyweight in the energy transition is on its way to Ireland.
How does a flywheel work in a grid stabilisation system?
At a negative pressure close to perfect vacuum, it can rotate in its chamber at 3000 rpm and can thus briefly provide the stored rotational energy as electricity. This flywheel can multiply the inertia that the grid stabilisation system can currently provide by a factor of 6.8.
Is flywheel technology a '100% clean' power source?
Frank Burke, Schwungrad Technical Director, with extensive industry experience and who was involved in the early development of system services, says: “Flywheel technology has the advantage of being a ‘100% clean’ power source as the hybrid technology has no direct fuel use or related emissions, and no water consumption.
Will Siemens Energy help stabilize Ireland's grid?
By combining two innovative energy solutions via one connection, Siemens Energy will deliver a flexible system to help stabilize Ireland’s grid. Ireland aims to reach net-zero by 2050 and to reduce emissions by 51% by the end of the decade, so is significantly increasing use of renewable energy.
