Flywheel systems are quick acting energy storage that enable smoothing of a wind turbine output to ensure a controllable power dispatch. The effectiveness of a flywheel depends on how well it can be controlled to respond to
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. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly
The flywheel energy storage system is useful in converting mechanical energy to electric energy and back again with the help of fast-spinning flywheels. This system is composed of four key parts: a solid cylinder, bearings, a motor/generator and a vacuum sealed casing.
