The energy storage is controlled by the control signal for the next action. To better show the control effect of the energy storage action, the positive direction of the y-axis is used to denote the flywheel energy storage absorbing energy, while the negative direction of the y-axis indicates the flywheel energy storage releasing energy.
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.

What is Flywheel Energy Storage?
Electric energy is supplied into flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) and stored as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as the "energy of motion," in this situation, the motion of a rotating mass known as a rotor, rotates in a near-frictionless environment. When utility power is lost or fluctuates, the inertia of the rotor permits it to continue spinning, converting the …
