China has the largest grid-scale flywheel energy storage plant in the world with 30 MW capacity. The system was connected to the grid in 2024 and it was the first such system in China. In the United States, Beacon Power operates two 20 MW grid-scale flywheel energy storage plants in and . On the island of is currently a 5 MWh flywheel storage power plant built by Temporal Pow.

As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate , which stores energy either in the form of or as (for example, using ), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night. This makes CSP a form of solar. Dispatchable is particularl.

First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.OverviewFlywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor () and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced a. .
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce fricti. .
Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10 , up to 10 , cycles.
