Flywheels don''t store energy in "degrees" but in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megajoules (MJ). Think of them as spinning batteries – the faster and heavier they rotate, the more energy they hold.

Their main advantage is their immediate response, since the energy does not need to pass any power electronics. However, only a small percentage of the energy stored in them can be accessed, given
