Sustainability Assessment of Flywheel Energy Storage for Grid
Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) Systems could be exploited to support energy transition maintaining, at the same time, secure conditions in electricity grids. Amo.
Flywheel energy storage system use is increasing, which has encouraged research in design improvement, performance optimization, and cost analysis. However, the system's environmental impacts for utility applications have not been widely studied.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) have proven to be feasible for stationary applications with short duration, i.e., voltage leveling, frequency regulation, and uninterruptible power supply, because they have a long lifespan, are highly efficient, and have high power density .
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
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.
