Flywheel energy storage is a mechanical energy storage system that utilizes the kinetic energy of a rotating mass, or flywheel, to store and release energy. Flywheels store energy by spinning a heavy rotor at high speeds. When excess electricity is available, the motor accelerates the flywheel, converting electrical energy into kinetic energy.
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.
High-strength steel flywheels have a high energy density (volume-based energy) due to their high mass density. Furthermore, they are superior to composite ones regarding thermal conductivity and design data availability, such as SN curves and fracture toughness.
October 2022: ABB and S4 Energy recently installed a hybrid battery-flywheel storage infrastructure in the Netherlands. The project features a 10 MW battery system and a 3 MW flywheel system and can supposedly offer a leveled cost of storage ranging between USD 0.020/kWh and USD 0.12/kWh.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research , studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
