Get PriceA flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
Prime applications that benefit from flywheel energy storage systems include: The power-hungry nature of data centers make them prime candidates for energy-efficient and green power solutions. Reliability, efficiency, cooling issues, space constraints and environmental issues are the prime drivers for implementing flywheel energy storage.
Flywheel Systems are more suited for applications that require rapid energy bursts, such as power grid stabilization, frequency regulation, and backup power for critical infrastructure. Battery Storage is typically a better choice for long-term energy storage, such as for renewable energy systems (solar or wind) or home energy storage.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
To improve battery life and system availability, flywheels can be combined with batteries to extend battery run time and reduce the number of yearly battery discharges that reduce battery life (Figure 2). Many types of medical imaging equipment, such as CT or MRI machines can also benefit from flywheel energy storage systems.
Traditional storage systems can take up to five minutes to respond. A grid-scale flywheel energy storage system is able to respond to grid operator control signal in seconds and able to absorb the power fluctuation for as long as 15 minutes. Flywheel storage has proven to be useful in trams.
