As the energy grid evolves, storage solutions that can efficiently balance the generation and demand of renewable energy sources are critical. Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass. To reduce friction, magnetic bearings are sometimes used instead of mechanical bearings.
Flywheels, one of the earliest forms of energy storage, could play a significant role in the transformation of the electri-cal power system into one that is fully sustainable yet low cost.
A Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is defined as a system that stores energy for a distinct period of time to be retrieved later. There is a class distinction between flywheels used for smoothing the intermittent output of an engine or load on a machine and these energy storage systems.
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 most common configuration for flywheel energy storage is a hermetically sealed system incorporating a motor generator, as explained in Section 1 (Fig. 11.1).
The energy stored in a vehicle-mounted flywheel system is typically low, being of similar magnitude to the kinetic energy of the vehicle operating at a moderate speed.
