What is flywheel energy storage technology?

Flywheel energy storage technology is a form of mechanical energy storage that works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as kinetic energy.

Why is flywheel storage better than other mechanical energy storage technologies?

Compared to other mechanical energy storage technologies such as pumped hydro and compressed air, flywheel storage has higher energy and power density, higher efficiency, and rapid response.
