A flywheel is best suited to duties that need

  • A.seasonal storage of energy
  • B.storage with no standby loss at all
  • C.high power for a short time
  • D.low power for many hours

Answer: C

Correct answer: high power for a short time

A flywheel can absorb or deliver very large power almost instantly and can be cycled millions of times without degradation, which makes it excellent for frequency regulation, for ride-through of momentary interruptions, and for repetitive duties. What it cannot do is hold energy: bearing and windage losses drain it in hours, so it is a power device rather than an energy one.
