What are the application areas of flywheel technology?
Application areas of flywheel technology will be discussed in this review paper in fields such as electric vehicles, storage systems for solar and wind generation as well as in uninterrupted power supply systems. Keywords - Energy storage systems, Flywheel, Mechanical batteries, Renewable energy. 1. Introduction
How does a flywheel energy storage system work?
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.
Which country has the largest flywheel energy storage system?
Previously, the largest flywheel energy storage system was the Beacon Power flywheel station in Stephentown, New York, with a capacity of 20 MW. Now, with Dinglun’s 30 MW capacity, China has taken the lead in this sector. Flywheel storage technology offers several advantages over conventional energy storage methods.
How can flywheels be more competitive to batteries?
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
