A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
Due to technological advancements, the flywheel energy storage system is becoming a viable alternative to electrochemical batteries. Two potential applications of flywheel systems are for voltage support and as an uninterruptible power supply. The two applications are both useful to protect critical loads on distribution feeders. Therefore, it …
