Maseru Carbon Flywheel Energy Storage

Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational. . Energy storage systems (ESSs) can alleviate the problems associated with renewable energy power generation technology. ESSs store intermittent renewable energy to create reliable micro-grids that run continuously and efficiently distribute electricity by balancing the supply and the load [1]. Ganged together this gives 5 MWh capacity and 20 MW of power. The units operate at a peak speed at 15,000 rpm. [PDF Version]
