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.
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.
Arani et al. present the modeling and control of an induction machine-based flywheel energy storage system for frequency regulation after micro-grid islanding. Mir et al. present a nonlinear adaptive intelligent controller for a doubly-fed-induction machine-driven FESS.
Flywheel is often applied in heavy-haul locomotive , . For example, Spiryagin et al. propose a simplified control strategy for a FESS-assisted heavy haul locomotive. The study concludes that “FESS can be a very good solution” because battery’s limits on “specific power, cost efficiency and service lifetime”.
