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.
The energy storage facility provided by flywheels are suitable for continuous charging and discharging options without any dependency on the age of the storage system. The important aspect to be taken note of in this regard is the ability of FES to provide inertia and frequency regulation .
Small applications connected in parallel can be used instead of large flywheel energy storage systems. There are losses due to air friction and bearing in flywheel energy storage systems. These cause energy losses with self-discharge in the flywheel energy storage system.
In this storage scheme, kinetic energy is stored by spinning a disk or rotor about its axis. Amount of energy stored in disk or rotor is directly proportional to the square of the wheel speed and rotor׳s mass moment of inertia. Whenever power is required, flywheel uses the rotor inertia and converts stored kinetic energy into electricity .
There are losses due to air friction and bearing in flywheel energy storage systems. These cause energy losses with self-discharge in the flywheel energy storage system. The high speeds have been achieved in the rotating body with the developments in the field of composite materials.
The basic function of the flywheel is to convert the mechanical energy for the end-use application, which is electrical energy. For this conversion, an electromechanical machine is required which could be a motor/generator set. Generator and motor: When the kinetic energy is being stored, the motor is used to drive the flywheel.
