A flywheel energy storage system consists of bearings, a rotating mass, a motor-generator, and a frequency inverter. Fig. 14.4 shows the main components of a flywheel energy storage system . The design of the components influences the overall efficiency, and can help in reducing power transmission losses.
Energy storage in a flywheel is realized by a spinning mass in the form of kinetic energy [144,145]. The flywheel energy storage system is mainly composed of a rotor, magnetic bearing systems, a vacuum housing and an electric machine [142,145].
Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is an electromechanical system that stores energy in the form of kinetic energy. A mass coupled with electric machine rotates on two magnetic bearings to decrease friction at high speed. The flywheel and electric machine are placed in a vacuum to reduce wind friction.
Flywheel energy storage system has many merits, such as high power density, long lifetime, accurate implementation to monitor the load state of the power system, and insensitivity to the ambient temperature. The flywheel energy storage research began in the 1980s in China.
Dai Xingjian et al. designed a variable cross-section alloy steel energy storage flywheel with rated speed of 2700 r/min and energy storage of 60 MJ to meet the technical requirements for energy and power of the energy storage unit in the hybrid power system of oil rig, and proposed a new scheme of keyless connection with the motor spindle.
