A flywheel operates on the principle of storing energy through its rotating mass. Think of it as a mechanical storage tool that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage. This energy is stored in the form of rotational kinetic energy.
Energy storage in a flywheel is realized by a spinning mass in the form of kinetic energy [144,145]. The flywheel energy storage system is mainly composed of a rotor, magnetic bearing systems, a vacuum housing and an electric machine [142,145].
Their efficiency is high during energy storage and energy transfer (>90 %). The performance of flywheel energy storage systems operating in magnetic bearing and vacuum is high. Flywheel energy storage systems have a long working life if periodically maintained (>25 years).
A flywheel energy storage system consists of bearings, a rotating mass, a motor-generator, and a frequency inverter. Fig. 14.4 shows the main components of a flywheel energy storage system . The design of the components influences the overall efficiency, and can help in reducing power transmission losses.
The operational mechanism of a flywheel has two states: energy storage and energy release. Energy is stored in a flywheel when torque is applied to it. The torque increases the rotational speed of the flywheel; as a result, energy is stored. Conversely, the energy is released in the form of torque to the connected mechanical device .
Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is an electromechanical system that stores energy in the form of kinetic energy. A mass coupled with electric machine rotates on two magnetic bearings to decrease friction at high speed. The flywheel and electric machine are placed in a vacuum to reduce wind friction.
