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.
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.
ENERGIESTRO invented a flywheel made of prestressed concrete that will enable to reduce the high cost of energy storage (in comparison with batteries). – power supply to remote sites: telecommunications antennas, housing… The ENERGIESTRO flywheel is the ideal storage for large solar power plants in desert areas.
Control strategies for flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are crucial to ensuring the optimal operation, efficiency, and reliability of these systems.
Other opportunities for flywheels are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are a type of energy storage technology used to improve the stability and quality of the power grid. The increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power, has made the operation of the electricity network more complex.
