A flywheel energy storage system works by spinning a large, heavy wheel, called a flywheel at very high speeds. The energy is stored as rotational kinetic energy in the spinning wheel. When electricity is needed, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced, and the stored kinetic energy is converted back into electrical power using a generator.
FESS has been integrated with various renewable energy power generation designs. Gabriel Cimuca et al. proposed the use of flywheel energy storage systems to improve the power quality of wind power generation. The control effects of direct torque control (DTC) and flux-oriented control (FOC) were compared.
With a power output of 30 megawatts, China's Dinglun flywheel energy storage facility is now the biggest power station of its kind. The makers of the Dinglun station have employed 120 advanced high-speed magnetic levitation flywheel units. (Representational image) iStock The US has some impressive flywheel energy storage plants.
The power system delivers electrical energy to the flywheel device. Discharge: The process converts the mechanical energy consumed by the rotation of the flywheel into electrical energy and transmits it out, the drive motor operates as a generator, and the speed of the flywheel will decrease accordingly.
