Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) have proven to be feasible for stationary applications with short duration, i.e., voltage leveling , frequency regulation , and uninterruptible power supply , because they have a long lifespan, are highly efficient, and have high power density .
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.
Flywheel energy storage system use is increasing, which has encouraged research in design improvement, performance optimization, and cost analysis. However, the system's environmental impacts for utility applications have not been widely studied.
The net energy ratios of steel and composite flywheels are 2.5–3.5 and 2.7–3.8. The GHG emissions of steel and composite flywheels are 75–121 and 49–95 kg CO 2 eq/MWh. Flywheel energy storage systems are feasible for short-duration applications, which are crucial for the reliability of an electrical grid with large renewable energy penetration.
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.
FESS has been integrated with various renewable energy power generation designs.
