Overview on Application of Flywheel Energy Storage Technology in Power Grid

Linhai Cai

Abstract

Flywheel energy storage is an emerging energy storage technology,has broad application prospects in power grid.Compared with other energy storage technologies,flywheel energy storage has the advantages of high energy storage density,wide application range,harmless when over charge and over discharge,big power,high efficiency and so on.Flywheel energy storage system uses flywheel acceleration and deceleration rotation to achieve the inter conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy,it togethers with superconducting magnetic energy storage technology and super capacitor energy storage technology,is research hotspot of energy storage technology in recent years.
