Flywheel Energy Storage System
A Flywheel UPS energy storage system uses stored kinetic energy that is transformed into DC power. Explore how flywheel energy
Many storage technologies have been developed in an attempt to store the extra AC power for later use. Among these technologies, the Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) system has emerged as one of the best options. This paper presents a conceptual study and illustrations of FES units.
The magnetically suspended flywheel energy storage system (MS-FESS) is an energy storage equipment that accomplishes the bidirectional transfer between electric energy and kinetic energy, and it is widely used as the power conversion unit in the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system.
According to Al-Diab (2011) the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) could be exploited beneficially in dealing with many technical issues that appear regularly in distribution grids such as voltage support, grid frequency support, power quality improvement and unbalanced load compensation.
D. Power Electronics The flywheel energy unit produces variable frequency AC current. To reliably operate the system, power electronics devices must be installed in order to keep the frequency constant so that it can be connected to the grid. Power converters for energy storage systems are based on SCR, GTO or IGBT switches.
Flywheels are only viable for utility-scale energy storage when multiple units can be integrated into an array to achieve the necessary storage capacity. Developing hardware, software and a test platform is necessary to successfully demonstrate multi-unit array operation with balanced power and state of charge (SoC).
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
