Inkwood Research estimates the global market for flywheel energy storage to grow at a CAGR of 7.50% in terms of revenue and 8.32% in terms of volume during the forecast period, reaching a revenue of $570.74 million, and in terms of volume, 310.06 Kilo Watt, by 2028. The base year for the market study is 2019, while the forecasted period is between 2020 and 2028. Energy storage is important in renewable power generation since renewable sources such as wind and solar are intermittent in nature. The energy produced from wind varies as per its velocity. In such cases, it becomes imperative to store the excess energy, but not to overload the grid or cause wastage.

Energy storage is important in renewable power generation since renewable sources such as wind and solar are intermittent in nature. The energy produced from wind varies as per its velocity. In such cases, it becomes imperative to store the excess energy, but not to overload the grid or cause wastage. Flywheel technology instantaneously responds to control signals and can be 100 times quicker than traditional generation sources. For instance, Beacon Power has designed flywheels to provide 20 MW of energy, and its response time is less than four seconds. One of the key challenges is managing grid reliability. Flywheel energy storage is increasingly used in the utility sector to balance the grid, i.e., regulate voltage up or down, spinning reserve, voltage support. Several developing countries are investing in energy storage technologies to optimize the electrical grid and increase reliability, resilience, and efficiency. Hence, advanced energy storage plays a major role in the utility sector.
Distributed energy generation is the fastest and leading segment in terms of revenue in the global flywheel energy storage market, with around 21.60% market share in 2019. Distributed energy generation using flywheels is expected to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and has augmented the use of renewable sources for power generation. For instance, in the US, Beacon Power in 2014 pioneered flywheel technology for frequency regulation with a 20 MW power plant. Also, nearly 10% of the overall frequency regulation needs in New York are provided by the Stephentown plant, which is a flywheel-based power plant.
On the other hand, the global flywheel energy storage market growth is restricted by the growing popularity of battery storage, high initial cost, and low tensile strength. Apart from flywheels, some of the other commonly used energy storage systems include sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and lead-acid batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, since lithium is the third lightest element in the world. Also, the use of non-aqueous electrolytes helps these batteries achieve high operating voltages as compared to other batteries. Besides, as these batteries are compact in size, they can be carried anywhere. These batteries are characterized by high maintenance costs and short life cycles. However, with innovations, these batteries have achieved increased efficiency and longer operational life of 3 to 4 years. The biggest challenge faced by the market is overcoming the competition it faces from these battery storage systems.
