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.
When it comes to energy storage solutions, it's essential to find one that is efficient, reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly. Luckily, two new technologies - flywheels and supercapacitors - offer a promising alternative to traditional battery storage. But which one is better?
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.
Since flywheels are featured by the smooth transition between energy import and export according to the amount of demanded energy, they are deemed as a vital element in energy-generating systems . Currently, FESSs offer rapid energy support in vast project scales, where economic feasibility is the dominant factor for their installation.
