Accepted: 02 March 2024 Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
How Flywheel Energy Storage Works Flywheel energy storage systems consist of a rotor (flywheel), a motor/generator, magnetic bearings, and a containment system. The rotor, typically made from advanced materials like carbon fiber, is enclosed in a vacuum chamber to minimize air friction.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
A dynamic model of an FESS was presented using flywheel technology to improve the storage capacity of the active power distribution system . To effectively manage the energy stored in a small-capacity FESS, a monitoring unit and short-term advanced wind speed prediction were used . 3.2. High-Quality Uninterruptible Power Supply
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
Permanent-Magnet Motors for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems The permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the permanent-magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor are the two primary types of PM motors used in FESSs. PM motors boast advantages such as high efficiency, power density, compactness, and suitability for high-speed operations.
