China connects its first large-scale flywheel
The 30 MW plant is the first utility-scale, grid-connected flywheel energy storage project in China and the largest one in the world.
Flywheels are now a possible technology for power storage systems for fixed or mobile installations. FESS have numerous advantages, such as high power density, high energy density, no capacity degradation, ease of measurement of state of charge, don't require periodic maintenance and have short recharge times .
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
The future of flywheel energy storage systems is debatable mainly because its success hinges on several factors. The amount of research and funding put into mechanical batteries, such as the FESS over chemical batteries, will determine the development of this technology.
The flywheel energy storage is a substitute for steam-powered catapults on aircraft carriers. The use of flywheels in this application has the potential for weight reduction. The US Marine Corps are researching the integration of flywheel energy storage systems to supply power to their base stations through renewable energy sources.
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
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.
