Flywheel Energy Storage Industry Standards: What You Need
Imagine a world where energy storage works like a high-speed merry-go-round—spinning faster to store power and slowing down to release it. That''s flywheel energy storage in a nutshell.
This project explored flywheel energy storage R&D to reach commercial viability for utility scale energy storage. This required advancing the design, manufacturing capability, system cost, storage capacity, efficiency, reliability, safety, and system level operation of flywheel energy storage technology.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
Following final approval by the Alliance Standards Committee, CNESA officially released the standard on April 10, 2020. The “General technical requirements for flywheel energy storage systems” standard specifies the general requirements, performance requirements, and testing methods for flywheel energy storage systems.
The standard is designed in accordance with domestic and international flywheel standard conventions, while also referencing related electrochemical energy storage system standards.
