The operation of the electricity network has grown more complex due to the increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.
A Flywheel Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is a form of a mechanical hybrid system in which kinetic energy is stored in a spinning flywheel. This technology is being trialled by selected bus, truck, and mainstream automotive companies. Flywheel storage systems can supply instantaneous high power for short periods of time.
Recent interest in space applications of flywheel energy storage has been driven by limitations of chemical batteries for Air Force and NASA mission concepts. FES was designed to replace the nickel hydrogen (NiHz) battery orbital replacement units in the ISS Electric Power System.
Permanent-Magnet Motors for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems The permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the permanent-magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor are the two primary types of PM motors used in FESSs. PM motors boast advantages such as high efficiency, power density, compactness, and suitability for high-speed operations.
A 30 MW flywheel grid system started operating in China in 2024. Flywheels may be used to store energy generated by wind turbines during off-peak periods or during high wind speeds. In 2010, Beacon Power began testing of their Smart Energy 25 (Gen 4) flywheel energy storage system at a wind farm in Tehachapi, California.
