Flywheel storage energy system is not a new technology; however, the deep interest in applying its principle in power system applications has been greatly increasing in the recent decades.
The flywheel as a means of energy has existed for thousands of years as one of the earliest mechanical energy storage systems. For example, the potter’s wheel was used as a rotatory object using the flywheel effect to maintain its energy under its own inertia, operated by people and animals.
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.
D. Power Electronics The flywheel energy unit produces variable frequency AC current. To reliably operate the system, power electronics devices must be installed in order to keep the frequency constant so that it can be connected to the grid. Power converters for energy storage systems are based on SCR, GTO or IGBT switches.
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.
It is a mechanical storage device which emulates the storage of electrical energy by converting it to mechanical energy performing the interchange of electrical energy to mechanical energy, and vice versa, The flywheel and MG are coaxially connected, indicating that controlling the MG enables control of the flywheel.
