Flywheel energy storage
This chapter takes the reader from the fundamentals of flywheel energy storage through to discussion of the components which make up a flywheel energy storage system.
From the perspective of energy input and output methods, the current common flywheel energy storage systems can be summarized into two types. One is the electrical energy storage system, and the other one is the mechanical energy storage system.
Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is an electromechanical energy storage system which can exchange electrical power with the electric network. It consists of an electrical machine, back-to-back converter, DC link capacitor and a massive disk.
Flywheel storage energy system is not a new technology; however, the deep interest in applying its principle in power system applications has been greatly increasing in the recent decades.
Flywheel systems are composed of various materials including those with steel flywheel rotors and resin/glass or resin/carbon-fiber composite rotors. Flywheels store rotational kinetic energy in the form of a spinning cylinder or disc, then use this stored kinetic energy to regenerate electricity at a later time.
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.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research, studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
