Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are a type of energy storage technology that can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. Compared with other energy storage systems, FESSs offer numerous advantages, including a long lifespan, exceptional efficiency, high power density, and minimal environmental impact.
Flywheel technology has potential applications in energy harvesting, hybrid energy systems, and secondary functionalities apart from energy storage. Additionally, there are opportunities for new applications in these areas.
Flywheel energy storage systems can store tens of kWh hours of energy. The low-speed rotors, typically made of steel, can produce 1000s of kWh for short periods, while high-speed rotors produce kWh by the hundreds.
The power system delivers electrical energy to the flywheel device. Discharge: The process converts the mechanical energy consumed by the rotation of the flywheel into electrical energy and transmits it out, the drive motor operates as a generator, and the speed of the flywheel will decrease accordingly.
A dynamic model of an FESS was presented using flywheel technology to improve the storage capacity of the active power distribution system. To effectively manage the energy stored in a small-capacity FESS, a monitoring unit and short-term advanced wind speed prediction were used.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) are a good candidate for electrical grid regulation. They can improve distribution efficiency and smooth power output from renewable energy sources like wind/solar farms. Additionally, flywheels have the least environmental impact amongst energy storage technologies, as they contain no chemicals.
