Accepted: 02 March 2024 Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
The flywheels made of composite materials permit high density, unlike the typical steel-based flywheels with low density . Two materials are mainly used to construct flywheel energy storage systems: they are composite materials made up of carbon fiber or graphite and metal materials.
The small energy storage composite flywheel of American company Powerthu can operate at 53000 rpm and store 0.53 kWh of energy . The superconducting flywheel energy storage system developed by the Japan Railway Technology Research Institute has a rotational speed of 6000 rpm and a single unit energy storage capacity of 100 kW·h.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
In 1999 , the University of Texas at Austin developed a 7-ring interference assembled composite material flywheel energy storage system and provided a stress distribution calculation method for the flywheel energy storage system.
