Flywheel 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.
Flywheel energy storage systems offer a unique and efficient alternative to traditional battery systems, with advantages in speed, lifespan, and environmental impact. While battery storage remains the dominant choice for long-term energy storage, flywheel systems are well-suited for applications requiring rapid energy release and frequent cycling.
This paper proposes an islanded PV hybrid microgrid system (PVHMS) utilizing flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) as an alternative to battery technology to support the PV system and meet the peak demand of a small residential town with 100 dwellings.
Based on the results, it was concluded that the integration of flywheel energy storage in stand-alone islanded system provides back-up storage, fuel cost reductions, fuel savings and reduced greenhouse gasses. The performance of DGen is less efficient at partial loads which happens when PV system and DGen share the load demand.
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.
