Flywheel storage energy system is not a new technology; however, the deep interest in applying its principle in power system applications has been greatly increasing in the recent decades.
As a vital energy conversion equipment, the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) [, , , , ] could efficiently realize the mutual conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy. It has the advantages of high conversion efficiency [6, 7], low negative environmental impact [8, 9], and high power density [10, 11].
In this paper, a grid-connected operation structure of flywheel energy storage system (FESS) based on permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is designed, and the mathematical model of the system is established.
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.
D. Power Electronics The flywheel energy unit produces variable frequency AC current. To reliably operate the system, power electronics devices must be installed in order to keep the frequency constant so that it can be connected to the grid. Power converters for energy storage systems are based on SCR, GTO or IGBT switches.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research [152,153] studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
