A steel alloy flywheel with an energy storage capacity of 125 kWh and a composite flywheel with an energy storage capacity of 10 kWh have been successfully developed. Permanent magnet (PM) motors with power of 250–1000 kW were designed, manufactured, and tested in many FES assemblies.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
The flywheel energy storage systems can be used for stability design in high power impulse load in independent power systems [187, 188]. A combined closed-loop based on the genetic algorithm with a forward-feed control system with fast response and steady accuracy is designed .
This flywheel storage system, developed by Shenzhen Energy Group with technology from BC New Energy, consists of 120 high-speed magnetic levitation flywheel units. These units are designed to store energy in the form of kinetic energy by spinning flywheels at high speeds.
Flywheel technology is a method of energy storage that uses the principles of rotational kinetic energy. A flywheel is a mechanical device that stores energy by spinning a rotor at very high speeds.
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.
