Flywheel energy storage cost calculation
orage, 2020 2.4 Flywheel energy storage. Flywheel energy storage, also known as kinetic energy storage, is a form of mechanical energy storage that is a suitable to achieve the smooth
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.
The city of Fresno in California is running flywheel storage power plants built by Amber Kinetics to store solar energy, which is produced in excess quantity in the daytime, for consumption at night. Intermittent nature of variable renewable energy is another challenge.
These storage facilities consist of individual flywheels in a modular design. Energy up to 150 kWh can be absorbed or released per flywheel. Through combinations of several such flywheel accumulators, which are individually housed in buried underground vacuum tanks, a total power of up to several tens of MWh can be achieved.
