AI Flywheel Energy Storage

The Problem

“Optimize flywheel dispatch for grid stability”

Organizations face these key challenges:

Millisecond-level control requirements make manual tuning and static droop settings insufficient during rapid renewable ramps and grid disturbances

Revenue leakage from missed regulation performance scores, inaccurate SOC positioning, and inability to react to intraday price changes

Unplanned maintenance and derates driven by hard-to-detect degradation (bearing wear, vacuum leaks, inverter thermal stress) and suboptimal cycling

Impact When Solved

Improve regulation performance scores by 2–8 points, reducing penalty exposure and increasing market paymentsIncrease dispatch availability by 1–3 percentage points through early fault detection and condition-based maintenance schedulingReduce unnecessary cycling by 10–20% while maintaining response obligations, extending component life and lowering O&M cost per MW-year

Real-World Use Cases

AI-Driven Battery Optimization and Lifecycle Management

Think of this like a smart mechanic for batteries: it constantly listens to how your batteries ‘feel’, predicts when they’ll get tired, and adjusts how they’re used so they last longer and work more efficiently in cars, homes, and the grid.
