Wind farm installs flywheels
Beacon Power Corp. said that it has shipped, installed, and successfully connected one of its Smart Energy flywheel energy storage systems at a California wind farm.

Tyngsborough-based Beacon Power specializes in making massive flywheels that store power like giant alkaline batteries.

The Beacon Power flywheel system just installed in Tehachapi, Calif., is part of a wind power/flywheel demonstration project being carried out for the California Energy Commission, Beacon Power said in a press release.
