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.
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.
This capability helps smooth out the variability of renewable energy and ensures a consistent power supply. By supporting the integration of renewable energy, flywheels contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
When charging, electrical energy from the grid or a power source is used to accelerate the flywheel to very high speeds. This is done by the motor/generator acting as a motor, converting electrical energy into kinetic energy and storing it in the spinning flywheel.
