2015 Scotiabank EcoLiving Awards-student leadership

Created by Dynnergy, a group of mechanical engineering students from the University of Guelph, Flywheel Energy Storage System is an energy storage system for residential homeowners that can be directly integrated with the grid. The system stores energy during low peak hours and converts it back to electricity during high peak hours. “We are really excited about the Flywheel Energy Store System because it has the capability of potentially eliminating the large scale chemical batteries which are harmful to the environment,” says Melissa Love of Dynnergy.

Mechanical Engineering students (Wesley Romak, Melissa Love, Thomas Marshall and Cody Carey) won the 2015 Scotiabank EcoLiving Awards-student leadership with $10K for their design work "Flywheel Energy Storage System". The designed and built an energy storage system for residential homeowners that can be directly integrated with the grid.
