The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) offers a fast dynamic response, high power and energy densities, high efficiency, good reliability,
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
Flywheels are now a possible technology for power storage systems for fixed or mobile installations. FESS have numerous advantages, such as high power density, high energy density, no capacity degradation, ease of measurement of state of charge, don't require periodic maintenance and have short recharge times .
Small-scale flywheel energy storage systems have relatively low specific energy figures once volume and weight of containment is comprised. But the high specific power possible, constrained only by the electrical machine and the power converter interface, makes this technology more suited for buffer storage applications.
Conclusions Flywheel storage systems have been used for a long time. Material and semiconductor development are offering new possibilities and applications previously impossible for flywheels. The fast rotation of flywheel rotors is suitable for direct generation of high voltage.
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.
The future of flywheel energy storage systems is debatable mainly because its success hinges on several factors. The amount of research and funding put into mechanical batteries, such as the FESS over chemical batteries, will determine the development of this technology.
