Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, Sou th Africa. 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.
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.
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
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.
We will explore its advantages, applications across various industries, and a comparative analysis with other storage methods. Flywheel technology is a sophisticated energy storage system that uses a spinning wheel to store mechanical energy as rotational energy. This system ensures high energy output and efficient recovery.
The idling loss (windage loss) of a Flywheel energy storage system can be minimized by using a helium–air mixture gas. In the case of 50 vol% helium per air, the drag reduced ratio decreases to 43% of that of air 100 vol%. With 75 vol% helium, over 70% loss can be reduced.
