Understanding Flywheel Energy Storage Systems: Risks and Benefits Explained In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of flywheel energy storage systems.
Flywheel energy storage uses electric motors to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high speed so that the electrical power is transformed into mechanical power and stored, and when necessary, flywheels drive generators to generate power. The flywheel system operates in the high vacuum environment.
Flywheels have a relatively low energy density and are not feasible for longer term energy storage compared to other technologies. Additionally, they have a low current efficiency and high level of self-discharge due to air resistance and bearing losses (A.J. Ruddell, in Stand-Alone and Hybrid Wind Energy Systems, 2010).
Flywheel energy storage system topology. Another method used in flywheel energy storage systems is to store energy with high speed. In this method the rotating object is rotated up to 100,000 rpm . The rotating object weight is low in this method. This method is used in small applications in terms of volume and weight.
Near-term flywheel energy storage systems are primarily used for on-site or user-site storage, rather than utility storage directly. Future possibilities include applications in solar and wind power. Flywheels for newly identified markets are still in the development phase.
The major components that make up a flywheel configured for electrical storage are systems comprising of a mechanical part, the flywheel rotor, bearings assembly and casing, and the electric drive part, inclusive of motor-generator and power electronics.
In this storage scheme, kinetic energy is stored by spinning a disk or rotor about its axis. Amount of energy stored in disk or rotor is directly proportional to the square of the wheel speed and rotor׳s mass moment of inertia. Whenever power is required, flywheel uses the rotor inertia and converts stored kinetic energy into electricity .
