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.
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).
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 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.
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
A 10 MJ flywheel energy storage system, used to maintain high quality electric power and guarantee a reliable power supply from the distribution network, was tested in the year 2000. The FES was able to keep the voltage in the distribution network within 98–102% and had the capability of supplying 10 kW of power for 15 min . 3.5.7.
