The way to increase or decrease the flywheel''s rotational speed is by applying a torque to its axis of symmetry. In the case of a flywheel UPS, its most common function is to convert the kinetic energy it stores to produce DC power. It also provides power conditioning and run-time in short bursts in the event of a power outage.
4 · 3. Thermal energy storage. Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks
