\Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) use electric energy input which is stored in the form of kinetic energy. Flywheel energy storage systems employ kinetic energy stored in a rotating mass with very low frictional losses. A flywheel energy storage system is a type of an electromechanical system which is used for storing energy in the form of kinetic energy. Flywheel systems are made up of various materials that contain those materials composed of steel, resin, carbon-fiber composite, glass rotors.

The first five-year cumulative revenue (2018–2022) is projected to be more than US$ 1.5 Bn, which is estimated to increase moderately over the latter part of the five-year forecast period. The global flywheel energy storage market is expected to value at nearly US$ 0.3 Bn in 2019, and is projected to register a CAGR of 10.2%.

Global Flywheel Energy Storage Market: Market Dynamics

An increasing number of data centers, owing to augmented demand for cloud-based services and the rising need for supporting digitization across the globe are some of the major factors expected to drive growth of the global market. In addition, rising need for new utility infrastructure, coupled with increasing electricity rates and rising adoption of electric vehicles in developed as well as developing countries are expected to fuel growth of the global market.

Increasing demand for these systems owing to its various features as compared to other options and effort made by various companies to offer enhanced products are expected to drive growth of the market to a significant extent. For instance, in March 2018, a US-based company, Hawaiian Electric, launched operations of an 8-kW/32-kWh energy storage system (KESS) in partnership with Amber Kinetics and Elemental Excelerator, in order to increase the Hawaiian Electric grid’s renewable energy capacity

Rapid urbanization in emerging economies has resulted in an increasing need for additional electricity reserve capacity. Grid infrastructure in some emerging economies is comparatively weak and may be susceptible to frequent outages, owing to limited capacity to effectively integrate local renewable energy resources. This is another key factor expected to boost demand for flywheel energy storage systems to a significant extent.

Increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply to facilitate the rapid pace of industrial development activities across the globe is one of the key factor expected to create opportunities for major players operating in the global market to develop reliable and cost-effective electrical energy storage mechanisms such as flywheels, which turns in growth of the global market.
