Vietnam Flywheel Energy Storage Powering a Sustainable Future

Energy Storage Solar Power Station

Why Flywheel Energy Storage is Gaining Momentum in Vietnam

As Vietnam accelerates its renewable energy adoption, flywheel energy storage has emerged as a game-changing solution. With solar and wind contributing 25% of national power capacity by 2030 (Ministry of Industry and Trade, 2023), the need for instant grid stabilization makes this technology particularly valuable.

Key Applications Driving Adoption

  • Renewable energy integration for solar/wind farms
  • Industrial UPS systems for manufacturing plants
  • Railway energy recovery in urban transit networks
  • Microgrid stabilization for island communities
