SUMMARY

The average cost to implement flywheel storage systems varies significantly, but specific figures are often not provided in articles. Flywheel energy storage systems are recognized for their high initial investment, typically ranging from $400 to $1,000 per kWh of storage capacity. Research indicates that while the implementation costs are high, the long-term benefits in energy efficiency and sustainability make them a viable option for renewable energy projects. For precise figures and further details, searching for "flywheel cost per kWh" yields numerous resources.

I am studying renewable engineering at uni..

And found the flywheel storage interesting.

I did my own research and found out that it is expensive to implement this technique.

However, all the articles describe the cost as expensive, not with specific figure ($)

So, I wonder what is the average cost to implement this system? can you please link the site?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I found plenty of references just by searching on Google for 'flywheel cost per kwh'.

Maybe give that a try.
