Flywheel batteries are probably the most compact energy storage systems that can be designed with the lowest environmental impact and highest durability. Not quite domestic, but the technology keeps maturing. It's better suited for leveling short-lived and massive power needs rather than storing energy for days (note the 7%/hr loss below).
Flywheel technology is a method of energy storage that uses the principles of rotational kinetic energy. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores energy by spinning a rotor at very high speeds.
Flywheels are only viable for utility-scale energy storage when multiple units can be integrated into an array to achieve the necessary storage capacity. Developing hardware, software and a test platform is necessary to successfully demonstrate multi-unit array operation with balanced power and state of charge (SoC).
For flywheels, large arrays of units installed as an “energy storage farm” will be commonplace. The hardware and software to manage and control multiple units was developed. During the project activities, arrays of up to four units were operated through multiple power cycles under a range of operating scenarios.
Flywheels are an ingenious way to store energy. Essentially, a giant rotor is levitated and spun in a chamber by way of magnets. Since there is very little friction, the flywheel spins continually with very little added energy input needed. Energy can then be drawn from the system on command by tapping into the spinning rotor as a generator.
