Configuration and control strategy for an integrated system

With a weighted score of 4.3, flywheels (with lithium–ion batteries a close second) appear as the most suitable energy storage technology to provide inertia for power systems.
Generator inertia is our starting point for examining how fast the system must respond to a contingency event. This section details how generator inertia resists changes in system frequency. Under normal conditions, electricity demand is met by the constant injection of energy into the grid from many power plants.
Inertia from rotating electrical generators in fossil, nuclear, and hydroelectric power plants represents a source of stored energy that can be tapped for a few seconds to provide the grid time to respond to power plant or other system failures.
Power system engineers typically describe the inertia of a generator in terms of stored rotational kinetic energy (EPRI 2019), so inertia has the same units of energy (power delivered over a period of time).
This means the inertia constant represents how long the generator could generate at its rated power using only its stored rotational kinetic energy, so the inertia constant is measured in units of seconds. 1-GW generator with an inertia constant of 4 seconds could deliver 1 GW of power for 4 seconds (or has 4 GW•s of stored energy).
Incorporating energy storage as a virtual inertial course would require fundamental changes in grid operations and market design. Because grid rotational inertia is considered an inherent property of power generation, there is no market mechanism to include inertia generation as an ancillary service.
