Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
Power utilities need innovative ways to store renewable wind and solar energy, during low demand periods, so they can release it after sunset when demand is high. Several innovative power utilities already use flywheel storage systems to maintain power grid frequency. Renewable energy is knocking on flywheel energy's door.
We will explore its advantages, applications across various industries, and a comparative analysis with other storage methods. Flywheel technology is a sophisticated energy storage system that uses a spinning wheel to store mechanical energy as rotational energy. This system ensures high energy output and efficient recovery.
