Flywheel Energy Storage Systems and Their Applications: A Review
The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) offers a fast dynamic response, high power and energy densities, high efficiency, good reliability, long lifetime and low maintenance
Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint. Various techniques are being employed to improve the efficiency of the flywheel, including the use of composite materials.
While supercaps and batteries have no moving parts and potential danger lies primarily in possible electric shock or fire due to a short circuit, a flywheel energy storage system requires a different, comprehensive safety concept. The main problem with FESS is that the entire kinetic energy can be released within a very short time.
The US Marine Corps are researching the integration of flywheel energy storage systems to supply power to their base stations through renewable energy sources. This will reduce the dependence on chemical batteries and, ultimately cost of running . 7. Future Trends
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
