Daren Yu Energy storage in a flywheel is realized by a spinning mass in the form of kinetic energy [144,145]. The flywheel energy storage system is mainly composed of a rotor, magnetic bearing systems, a vacuum housing and an electric machine [142,145].
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.
Permanent-Magnet Motors for Flywheel Energy Storage Systems The permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and the permanent-magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor are the two primary types of PM motors used in FESSs. PM motors boast advantages such as high efficiency, power density, compactness, and suitability for high-speed operations.
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 flywheel battery system includes a motor, which operates in the form of an electric motor during charging. Under the drive of an external power source, the motor drives the flywheel to rotate at high speed, thereby “charging” the flywheel battery by increasing its speed and functionality.
