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.
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].
Flywheel energy storage system has many merits, such as high power density, long lifetime, accurate implementation to monitor the load state of the power system, and insensitivity to the ambient temperature. The flywheel energy storage research began in the 1980s in China.
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. Typically, the energy input to a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) comes from an electrical source like the grid or any other electrical source.
Flywheel energy storage systems have a long working life if periodically maintained (>25 years). The cycle numbers of flywheel energy storage systems are very high (>100,000). In addition, this storage technology is not affected by weather and climatic conditions . One of the most important issues of flywheel energy storage systems is safety.
Fig. 7.8 shows the integration of the flywheel energy storage system with the grid. In this method the stored energy is transferred to the grid by a generator, alternative current (AC)/direct current (DC) rectifier circuit, and DC/AC inverter circuit. Figure 7.8.
