Flywheel energy storage systems are feasible for short-duration applications, which are crucial for the reliability of an electrical grid with large renewable energy penetration.
A Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) is capable of rapidly injecting or absorbing high amounts of active power during sudden frequency deviations with no concern over its lifetime or capacity , . Moreover, several studies including , , have demonstrated the economic advantages of using a FESS for frequency support services.
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.
In 1999 , the University of Texas at Austin developed a 7-ring interference assembled composite material flywheel energy storage system and provided a stress distribution calculation method for the flywheel energy storage system.
A dynamic model for a high-speed Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is presented. The model has been validated using power hardware-in-the-loop testing of a FESS. The FESS can reach the power set point in under 60 ms following frequency deviations. The maximum difference between the SOC of the model and the real FESS is 0.8%.
In the future, the focus should be on how to improve the stability of the flywheel energy storage single machine operation and optimize the control strategy of the flywheel array. The design of composite rotors mainly optimizes the operating speed, the number of composite material wheels, and the selection of rotor materials.
