That's essentially what friction energy storage does. When excess electricity spins massive steel rotors, kinetic energy gets stored as heat through controlled friction - heat we can later convert back to electricity via thermoelectric generators. With a power output of 30 megawatts, China's Dinglun flywheel energy storage facility is now the biggest power station of its kind. The makers of the Dinglun station have employed 120 advanced high-speed magnetic levitation flywheel units. Solar panels sit idle after sunset when cities need power. This mismatch costs the global economy $42 billion annually in. And can a spinning wheel really compete with lithium batteries and all the other energy storage systems available to us at the moment? We took a spin at this topic almost four years ago now, and there's been a lot of movement with flywheels since then. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel"s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly result g friction energy from rolling tires.
