Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.
Advanced control algorithms can optimize energy exchange, enhance grid stability, and adapt to dynamic load changes. In the realm of electric trading markets, the ability of flywheel systems to respond quickly to fluctuations in supply and demand positions them as valuable assets.
A flywheel energy storage unit is a mechanical system designed to store and release energy efficiently. It consists of a high-momentum flywheel, precision bearings, a vacuum or low-pressure enclosure to minimize energy losses due to friction and air resistance, a motor/generator for energy conversion, and a sophisticated control system.
