Technical FAQs 4

How does a flywheel energy storage system work?

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.

Are flywheels a promising energy storage element?

This paper presents an overview of the flywheel as a promising energy storage element. Electrical machines used with flywheels are surveyed along with their control techniques. Loss minimization and bearing system development are introduced. In addition, power system applications of flywheels are summarized.

How does a vertical flywheel energy storage system affect power?

This will reduce motor power and affect the normal operation of the system. For vertical flywheel energy storage systems, most of the exergy loss in the heat transfer process is concentrated in the motor stator, casing, and cooling water. As the power increases, the proportion of exergy loss in the stator decreases.

Why does a flywheel store energy kinetically?

The motor generates higher torque, which drives the flywheel at a higher rota-tional speed. Hence, the flywheel stores the energy kinetically, which is proportional to the square of its rotational speed and its moment of inertia (M.I). This energy can be used to operate an electric generator.
