First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass. To reduce friction, magnetic bearings are sometimes used instead of mechanical bearings.
Flywheel Systems are more suited for applications that require rapid energy bursts, such as power grid stabilization, frequency regulation, and backup power for critical infrastructure. Battery Storage is typically a better choice for long-term energy storage, such as for renewable energy systems (solar or wind) or home energy storage.
Flywheel systems are composed of various materials including those with steel flywheel rotors and resin/glass or resin/carbon-fiber composite rotors. Flywheels store rotational kinetic energy in the form of a spinning cylinder or disc, then use this stored kinetic energy to regenerate electricity at a later time.
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.
The amount of energy stored in a flywheel depends on the dimensions of the flywheel, its mass, and the rate at which it spins. Increasing a flywheel’s rotational speed is the most Manuscript received October 3, 2013; revised December 17, 2013.
