D. Power Electronics The flywheel energy unit produces variable frequency AC current. To reliably operate the system, power electronics devices must be installed in order to keep the frequency constant so that it can be connected to the grid. Power converters for energy storage systems are based on SCR, GTO or IGBT switches.
The amount of energy stored in a flywheel depends on the dimensions of the flywheel, its mass, and the rate at which it spins. Increasing a flywheel’s rotational speed is the most Manuscript received October 3, 2013; revised December 17, 2013.
Flywheels are only viable for utility-scale energy storage when multiple units can be integrated into an array to achieve the necessary storage capacity. Developing hardware, software and a test platform is necessary to successfully demonstrate multi-unit array operation with balanced power and state of charge (SoC).
