Here, we focus on some of the basic properties of flywheel energy storage systems, a technology that becomes competitive due to recent progress in material and electrical design.
Flywheels can store energy kinetically in a high speed rotor and charge and discharge using an electrical motor/generator. Wheel speed is determined by simultaneously solving the bus
To take advantage of this stored electricity, one simply lets the flywheel drive the motor which will produce an electric current that can be used again. In this way, the flywheel system can act as
The flywheel battery system includes a motor, which operates in the form of an electric motor during charging. Under the drive of an external power source, the motor drives the flywheel to
Fig. 1 has been produced to illustrate the flywheel energy storage system, including its sub-components and the related technologies. A FESS consists of several key
The fundamental principle of a flywheel battery is the storage of rotational kinetic energy within the spinning rotor. Electrical energy from the grid or a power source is fed into
This project explores flywheel energy storage systems through the development of a prototype aimed at minimizing friction. I designed a motor with no mechanical bearings.
