Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) can be applied from very small micro-satellites to huge power networks. A comprehensive review of FESS for hybrid vehicle, railway, wind power system, hybrid power generation system, power network, marine, space and other applications are presented in this paper.
Among the different mechanical energy storage systems, the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is considered suitable for commercial applications. An FESS, shown in Figure 1, is a spinning mass, composite or steel, secured within a vessel with very low ambient pressure.
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
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.
Arani et al. present the modeling and control of an induction machine-based flywheel energy storage system for frequency regulation after micro-grid islanding. Mir et al. present a nonlinear adaptive intelligent controller for a doubly-fed-induction machine-driven FESS.
The Beacon Power Flywheel , which includes a composite rotor and an electric machine, is designed for frequency regulation. Fig. 1 has been produced to illustrate the flywheel energy storage system, including its sub-components and the related technologies.
