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 core technology is the rotor material, support bearing, and electromechanical control system. This chapter mainly introduces the main structure of the flywheel energy storage system, the electromechanical control system, and the charging and discharging control process .
Source: Endesa, S.A.U. Another significant project is the installation of a flywheel energy storage system by Red Eléctrica de España (the transmission system operator (TSO) of Spain) in the Mácher 66 kV substation, located in the municipality of Tías on Lanzarote (Canary Islands).
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.
Flywheel energy storage stores electrical energy in the form of mechanical energy in a high-speed rotating rotor. The core technology is the rotor material, support bearing, and
