Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) can recover and store vehicle kinetic energy during deceleration. In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been carried out using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique to determine the effects of design parameters on flywheel windage losses and heat transfer characteristics.
Fig. 1 has been produced to illustrate the flywheel energy storage system, including its sub-components and the related technologies. A FESS consists of several key components: (1) A rotor/flywheel for storing the kinetic energy. (2) A bearing system to support the ro-tor/flywheel.
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.
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.
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.
The critical contribution of this work is studying the relationships and effects of various parameters on the performance of flywheel energy storage, which can pave the way for the implementation of energy-efficient flywheel energy storage systems for transport decarbonisation.
