The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
Flywheel batteries are probably the most compact energy storage systems that can be designed with the lowest environmental impact and highest durability. Not quite domestic, but the technology keeps maturing. It's better suited for leveling short-lived and massive power needs rather than storing energy for days (note the 7%/hr loss below).
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
