China connects world’s largest flywheel energy storage system to grid

Sep 16
2024

The US has some impressive flywheel energy storage plants. The largest of these is the 20 MW Beacon Power flywheel station located in Stephentown, New York. Until recently, it was the world’s largest flywheel energy storage system (FESS), but not anymore.

China has developed a massive 30-megawatt (MW) FESS in Shanxi province called the Dinglun flywheel energy storage power station.

This station is now connected to the grid, making it the largest operational flywheel energy storage facility ever built.
