The amortized capital costs are $130.26 and $92.01/kW-year for composite and steel rotor FESSs, respectively. The corresponding LCOSs are $189.94 and $146.41/MWh, respectively. Table 4. Cost summary for 20 MW/5MWh flywheel energy storage systems.
The flywheel is modular and offers unparalleled configurability in terms of power to energy ratio, which makes it the first dynamic energy storage system whose discharge duration can be matched exactly to the customer’s needs.
Flywheel energy storage systems are increasingly being considered as a promising alternative to electro-chemical batteries for short-duration utility applications. There is a scarcity of research that evaluates the techno-economic performance of flywheels for large-scale applications.
S4 Energy and ABB recently installed a hybrid battery-flywheel storage facility in the Netherlands. The project features a 10 MW battery system and a 3 MW flywheel system and can reportedly offer a levelized cost of storage ranging between €0.020 ($0.020)/kWh and €0.12/kWh. ABB regenerative drives power S4 Energy Kinext's energy-storage flywheels.
