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.
The Beacon Power Flywheel , which includes a composite rotor and an electric machine, is designed for frequency regulation. Fig. 1 has been produced to illustrate the flywheel energy storage system, including its sub-components and the related technologies.
Flywheels also have the least environmental impact amongst the three technologies, since it contains no chemicals. It makes FESS a good candidate for electrical grid regulation to improve distribution efficiency and smoothing power output from renewable energy sources like wind/solar farms.
