The Status and Future of Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheels, one of the earliest forms of energy storage, could play a significant role in the transformation of the electrical power system into one that is fully sustainable yet low
Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
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.
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.
The US Marine Corps are researching the integration of flywheel energy storage systems to supply power to their base stations through renewable energy sources. This will reduce the dependence on chemical batteries and, ultimately cost of running . 7.
Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.
Application areas of flywheel technology will be discussed in this review paper in fields such as electric vehicles, storage systems for solar and wind generation as well as in uninterrupted power supply systems.
