Flywheel Energy Storage System

Companies and utilities are looking for solutions to bridge the gap between traditional energy generation, renewables and battery-based energy storage. Amber Kinetics is the world’s first and only long-duration flywheel flexible and rugged enough to meet the challenge.

The Amber Kinetics flywheel is the first commercialized four-hour discharge, long-duration Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) solution powered by advanced technology that stores 32 kWh of energy in a two-ton steel rotor. Individual flywheels can be scaled up to tens or even hundreds of megawatts. Amber Kinetics has engineered a highly efficient flywheel to meet the energy storage needs of the modern grid.
