Get StartedFlywheel Systems are more suited for applications that require rapid energy bursts, such as power grid stabilization, frequency regulation, and backup power for critical infrastructure. Battery Storage is typically a better choice for long-term energy storage, such as for renewable energy systems (solar or wind) or home energy storage.
Small-scale flywheel energy storage systems have relatively low specific energy figures once volume and weight of containment is comprised. But the high specific power possible, constrained only by the electrical machine and the power converter interface, makes this technology more suited for buffer storage applications.
The principle of flywheel energy storage FESS technology originates from aerospace technology. Its working principle is based on the use of electricity as the driving force to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high speed and store electrical energy in the form of mechanical energy.
Here’s a breakdown of the process: Energy Absorption: When there’s surplus electricity, such as when the grid is overproducing energy, the system uses that excess power to accelerate the flywheel. This energy is stored as kinetic energy, much like how the figure skater speeds up their spin by pulling in their arms.
The flywheel, made of durable materials like composite carbon fiber, stores energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy. Here’s a breakdown of the process: Energy Absorption: When there’s surplus electricity, such as when the grid is overproducing energy, the system uses that excess power to accelerate the flywheel.
Flywheels appear as an appropriate energy storage technology for these applications. They are combined with supercapacitors to provide power for high speed systems requiring power in less than 10 µ s. Flywheels are also likely to find applications in the launching of aircraft from carriers. Currently, ].
