Flywheel Systems for Utility Scale Energy Storage is the final report for the Flywheel Energy Storage System project (contract number EPC-15-016) conducted by Amber Kinetics, Inc. The information from this project contributes to Energy Research
This work considers the requirement of health management for a hybrid flywheel-battery energy storage system. A novel prediction method including the construction of health indicator and RUL prediction is proposed for the flywheel support bearings inside the FESS.
The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) offers a fast dynamic response, high power and energy densities, high efficiency, good reliability, long lifetime and low maintenance
Li-ion and lead-acid batteries are the most commonly used energy storage systems here. However, advantages of flywheel energy storage systems such as higher efficiency and longer life are projected to increase the demand for flywheel energy storage systems, within the country.
Flywheels are used as intermediate energy storage systems for transport applications such as automobiles. Flywheel storage energy systems are more commonly used in Formula 1 cars and hybrid vehicles. However, manufacturers such as Maruti Suzuki have adopted this technology for passenger vehicles also.
One of the advantages of flywheel technology is the environmental tolerance; chemical batteries perform poorly outside of a limited temperature range which often necessitates axillary heating and cooling systems that reduce system power conversion efficiency.
Flywheel UPS systems can be used to overcome the problems faced by sudden dips or glitches in electric and voltage supplies. Also, since this technology does not involve the use of fossil fuels, it is environmentally friendly. Flywheels are used as intermediate energy storage systems for transport applications such as automobiles.
Amber’s proposed flywheel energy storage project is the culmination of several years of flywheel R&D. Energy storage technology that does not show degradation can be applied to solve multiple problems the current aging electric grid faces.
Installing 100 MW’s worth of flywheels used for distribution can reduce demand charges by $36 million and provide $8 million of energy savings a year since the FESS can eliminate mid-day peak and evening peaks of electricity use. Lithium battery technology can only do one peak reduction a day.
