Among the different mechanical energy storage systems, the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is considered suitable for commercial applications. An FESS, shown in Figure 1, is a spinning mass, composite or steel, secured within a vessel with very low ambient pressure.
Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.
The low-speed rotors are generally composed of steel and can produce 1000s of kWh for short periods, while the high-speed rotors produce kWh by the hundreds but can store tens of kWh hours of energy . Figure 17. Flywheel energy storage system in rail transport, reproduced with permission from .
The development of suitable FESS is being researched to improve the overall system stability and energy quality in current solar and wind energy systems. The flywheel can be introduced into a wind farm setup to store excess energy during peak production times, to later be released back into the grid at times when there is no wind.
