Having evaluated both the theoretical and experimental studies on the applications of flywheels in terms of stabilization and dynamic storage, several critical observations emerge regarding the role of FESSs in modern energy systems.
Beyond pumped hydroelectric storage, flywheels represent one of the most established technologies for mechanical energy storage based on rotational kinetic energy . Fundamentally, flywheels store kinetic energy in a rotating mass known as a rotor [, , , ], characterized by high conversion power and rapid discharge rates .
Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. Energy storage is a vital component of any power system, as the stored energy can be used to offset inconsistencies in the power delivery system.
and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently. There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. This paper gives a review of the recent
