Get StartedHome » Clean Technology » China Connects World’s Largest Flywheel Energy Storage Project to the Grid China has connected its first large-scale, grid-connected flywheel energy storage system to the power grid in Changzhi, Shanxi Province.
This project represents China's first grid-level flywheel energy storage frequency regulation power station and is a key project in Shanxi Province, serving as one of the initial pilot demonstration projects for "new energy + energy storage."
The station consists of 12 flywheel energy storage arrays composed of 120 flywheel energy storage units, which will be connected to the Shanxi power grid. The project will receive dispatch instructions from the grid and perform high-frequency charge and discharge operations, providing power ancillary services such as grid active power balance.
The new facility is expected to commence operations in December later this year. Upon completion, it will be connected to the province’s power grid to modulate the city’s power supply and demand. It will also become the largest independent flywheel energy storage facility in China and worldwide.
The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station, the World’s Largest Flywheel Energy Storage Project, represents a significant step forward in sustainable energy. Its role in grid frequency regulation and support for renewable energy will help stabilize power systems as China continues to increase its reliance on wind and solar energy.
Despite its benefits, flywheel energy storage technology remains underutilized. According to the China Energy Storage Alliance (CNESA), flywheel energy storage accounts only for 0.1% of the total capacity of 13.1 gigawatts provided by new energy storage systems in China.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
