The operation of the electricity network has grown more complex due to the increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
A dynamic model of an FESS was presented using flywheel technology to improve the storage capacity of the active power distribution system . To effectively manage the energy stored in a small-capacity FESS, a monitoring unit and short-term advanced wind speed prediction were used . 3.2. High-Quality Uninterruptible Power Supply
FESS has been integrated with various renewable energy power generation designs. Gabriel Cimuca et al. proposed the use of flywheel energy storage systems to improve the power quality of wind power generation. The control effects of direct torque control (DTC) and flux-oriented control (FOC) were compared.
Utility-scale energy storage systems for stationary applications typically have power ratings of 1 MW or more . The largest flywheel energy storage is in New York, USA by Beacon Power with a power rating of 20 MW and 15 min discharge duration .
Calnetix/Vycon Flywheel , which includes a steel flywheel and an electrical machine, is designed for UPS. Ricardo TorqStor , which includes a composite flywheel and magnetic gear, is designed for automotive applications. Comparison of power ratings and discharge time for different applications of flywheel energy storage technology.
Flywheel Bearings The energy storage capacity of an FESS can be enhanced by increasing the speed and size of the flywheel rotor. However, a significant limitation of FESSs comes from the bearings that support the flywheel rotor.
