Energy storage for electricity generation
In 2022, the United States had four operational flywheel energy storage systems, with a combined total nameplate power capacity of 47 MW and 17 MWh of energy capacity.
Grid energy storage
Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed. They further provide essential grid services, such as helping to restart the grid
