It is now (since 2013) possible to build a flywheel storage system that loses just 5 percent of the energy stored in it, per day (i.e. the self-discharge rate). This article presents the structure of the Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) and proposes a plan to use them in the grid system as an energy "regulating" element. The analytical results show the role of FESS and the principle of controlling their operations in the microgrid. [pdf]
FESSs have high energy density, durability, and can be cycled frequently without impacting performance. Therefore, the FESS is suitable for delivering high power and low energy content to the grid. These traits make it ideal for supporting short term frequency regulation in power systems. [pdf]
