They can store more energy per unit volume than flywheels, making them ideal for applications with limited space. Flywheels have a higher energy density than supercapacitors. They can store more energy per unit mass than supercapacitors, making them ideal for applications that require long-term storage.
When it comes to energy storage solutions, it's essential to find one that is efficient, reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly. Luckily, two new technologies - flywheels and supercapacitors - offer a promising alternative to traditional battery storage. But which one is better?
Power and energy characteristics of flywheen ESS and supercapacitor ESS. A supercapacitor has less kW and Wh per unit weight. Supercapacitors may have a smaller MW per unit volume. However, a flywheel may have a smaller energy density per unit volume.
Cost analysis for peak demand reduction. Based on the aforementioned assumptions, it was concluded that the flywheel has a lower cost than the supercapacitor, and can be considered a more cost-effective solution for peak demand reduction. The results of the cost analysis for application of voltage regulation are presented in Table 6.
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.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
