The technology behind flywheels is quite old, but the recent developments have made it suitable for usage in wind power storage. The main principle of flywheels is simple, the heavy wheels require large amounts of energy to start and according to the momentum principle, they also need a long time to stop. That means that they can store energy during peak seasons and slowly release energy during low season. This principle is perfect for wind power storage. The first flywheel wind power plants are already in operation and development in Stephentown, New York and Pennsylvania. Although the technology requires some time for optimization of performance and development of energy production, it will certainly live on and be utilized in various wind power facilities.
