The operation of the inertial storage system is based on the conversion of energy into a kinetic form, which is then converted to electrical energy when necessary. A flywheel is driven by a reversible electric machine that initially operates as a motor to supply energy to the inertial mass.
Nowadays, energy storage for stand-alone wind systems can be attained in various ways. Nevertheless, the inertial energy storage adjusts to sudden power variations of the wind generator, and allows useful power-to-weight characteristics in the power storage and delivery systems.
With a weighted score of 4.3, flywheels (with lithium–ion batteries a close second) appear as the most suitable energy storage technology to provide inertia for power systems.
Incorporating energy storage as a virtual inertial course would require fundamental changes in grid operations and market design. Because grid rotational inertia is considered an inherent property of power generation, there is no market mechanism to include inertia generation as an ancillary service.
However, excessive cyclic load on the inertia-supplied energy storage systems can be detrimental to their lifetime through attrition; Further, issues such as round-trip efficiency and elevated individual costs remain technical and economic barriers for utility-scale applications.

Energy Storage: The system features a flywheel made from a carbon fiber composite, which is both durable and capable of storing a lot of energy. A motor-generator unit uses electrical power to spin the flywheel up to high speeds. As it spins, the flywheel accumulates kinetic energy, similar to how a spinning top holds energy.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th…
