A review of flywheel energy storage systems: state of the art
This paper gives a review of the recent Energy storage Flywheel Renewable energy Battery Magnetic bearing developments in FESS technologies. Due to the highly interdisciplinary
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
A steel alloy flywheel with an energy storage capacity of 125 kWh and a composite flywheel with an energy storage capacity of 10 kWh have been successfully developed. Permanent magnet (PM) motors with power of 250–1000 kW were designed, manufactured, and tested in many FES assemblies.
The flywheel energy storage systems can be used for stability design in high power impulse load in independent power systems [187, 188]. A combined closed-loop based on the genetic algorithm with a forward-feed control system with fast response and steady accuracy is designed .
Mao Zhaoming raised the question of the practicability of using flywheel energy storage in solar power systems in 1983. The cost of FES was 6–7 times higher than that of heat storage and was obstructed using flywheel in solar power .
