The operation of the electricity network has grown more complex due to the increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
The design of the motor for flywheel energy storage mainly adopts the stator core, winding, magnet, and a matching optimization to improve the power and efficiency. The challenge in motor design is to reduce the loss of the permanent magnet motor rotor and prevent the failure of the motor caused by high-temperature rise. 3.3.
The theoretical exploration of flywheel energy storage (FES) started in the 1980s in China. The experimental FES system and its components, such as the flywheel, motor/generator, bearing, and power electronic devices, were researched around thirty years ago.
FESS has been integrated with various renewable energy power generation designs. Gabriel Cimuca et al. proposed the use of flywheel energy storage systems to improve the power quality of wind power generation. The control effects of direct torque control (DTC) and flux-oriented control (FOC) were compared.
The economic analysis and evaluation of the flywheel energy storage for the power grid frequency regulation showed that the more running actual utilizing of the set power, the higher the benefit/cost ratio is, which could be up to 1.97 .
Flywheel Bearings The energy storage capacity of an FESS can be enhanced by increasing the speed and size of the flywheel rotor. However, a significant limitation of FESSs comes from the bearings that support the flywheel rotor.
