Beacon Power (BCON) develops and commercializes flywheel-based energy storage solutions for grid-scale frequency regulation services and other utility-scale and unitary energy storage applications. Their most current product is the Smart Energy 25 flywheel, it is a 4th-generation advanced energy storage solution designed to meet the requirements of demanding utility grid applications. Smart Energy 25 flywheels are emissions-free, do not require fuel, and contain no hazardous chemical materials, simplifying permitting and avoiding potential ground contamination issues. Their current focus is on grid frequency regulation, whereby flywheels help maintain the necessary balance between energy supply and demand by effectively “recycling” electricity.
