Due to the advantage of flywheel, minimizing the operation times of BESS and giving priority of flywheel to respond the fluctuations is proved to be an available option to improve the life span of BESS, reduce the probability of explosion of BESS and secure operation of the hybrid energy storage system.
Flywheels have a solid foundation for reliability in meeting the demands of utility scale energy storage. For instance, the M25 system has a rated energy storage capacity of 25 kilowatt hours (kWh) at the beginning of the project, with a 4-hour discharge duration (6.2kW power rating).
Moreover, flywheel energy storage system array (FESA) is a potential and promising alternative to other forms of ESS in power system applications for improving power system efficiency, stability and security . However, control systems of PV-FESS, WT-FESS and FESA are crucial to guarantee the FESS performance.
The principle of flywheel energy storage FESS technology originates from aerospace technology. Its working principle is based on the use of electricity as the driving force to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high speed and store electrical energy in the form of mechanical energy.
The potential failure modes for a flywheel energy storage system include: loss of vacuum, overspeed, top and bottom bearing failure, and rotor burst. Testing for these failure modes included collecting temperatures, accelerations, electrical parameters, video footage, and photographs as appropriate. Sizing flywheel energy storage capacity to meet a utility scale requires integrating many units into an array.
This study proposes a control strategy for improving frequency stability in an islanded microgrid using a flywheel energy storage system. The paper "A grid-connected variable-speed wind generator driving a fuzzy-controlled PMSG and associated to a flywheel energy storage system" (Iran J Electric Electron Eng. 2017;13(1):10-21) supports this application.
