flywheel based energy storage system

Review of flywheel based energy storage systems

Flywheel based energy storage systems are suitable whenever numerous charge and discharge cycles (hundred of thousands) are needed with medium to high power (kW to MW) during short periods (seconds). The materials for the flywheel, the type of electrical machine, the type of bearings and the confinement atmosphere determine the energy efficiency

Is it again time for the flywheel-based energy storage systems?

A brief background: the underlying principle of the flywheel energy storage system—often called the FES system or FESS—is a long-established basic physics. Use the available energy to spin up a rotor wheel (gyro) via a motor/generator (M/G), which stores the energy in the rotating mass ( Figure 1 ). Electronics is also
