Flywheel storage power system
Energy up to 150 kWh can be absorbed or released per flywheel. Through combinations of several such flywheel accumulators, which are individually housed in buried underground
Fig. 2. A typical flywheel energy storage system, which includes a flywheel/rotor, an electric machine, bearings, and power electronics. Fig. 3. The Beacon Power Flywheel, which includes a composite rotor and an electric machine, is designed for frequency regulation.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research [152,153] studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
The city of Fresno in California is running flywheel storage power plants built by Amber Kinetics to store solar energy, which is produced in excess quantity in the daytime, for consumption at night. Intermittent nature of variable renewable energy is another challenge.
Table 14. General technical specifications of energy storage techniques [1, 10, 186, 187]. From Tables 14 and it is apparent that the SC and SMES are convenient for small scale energy storage application. Besides, CAES is appropriate for larger scale of energy storage applications than FES.
