Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density and quality, and minimal environmental impact, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS)
The cost invested in the storage of energy can be levied off in many ways such as (1) by charging consumers for energy consumed; (2) increased profit from more energy produced; (3) income
Kinetic/Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) have re-emerged as a vital technology in many areas such as project costs over 40 million dollars and has a 20MW peak power output [4].
Energy storage systems (ESSs) are the technologies that have driven our society to an extent where the management of the electrical network is easily feasible. The balance in supply
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.
The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) offers a fast dynamic response, high power and energy densities, high efficiency, good reliability, long lifetime and low maintenance
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. Flywheel energy storage system use is increasing, which has encouraged research in design improvement, performance optimization, and cost analysis.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research , 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.
A compact flywheel energy storage system assisted by hybrid mechanical-magnetic bearings is proposed in . The magnetic levitation in the vertical orientation is maintained by the magnetic bearing, while the translational and rotational levitation is assisted by mechanical bearing.
The main components of a flywheel energy storage system are a rotor, an electrical motor/generator, bearings, a PCS (bi-directional converter), a vacuum pump, and a vacuum chamber . During charging, the rotor is accelerated to a high speed using the electrical motor.
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
Permanent-Magnet Motors for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems The permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the permanent-magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor are the two primary types of PM motors used in FESSs. PM motors boast advantages such as high efficiency, power density, compactness, and suitability for high-speed operations.
