A typical flywheel energy storage system, which includes a flywheel/rotor, an electric machine, bearings, and power electronics. Fig. 3. The Beacon Power Flywheel, which includes a composite rotor and an electric machine, is designed for frequency regulation.
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, a flywheel for balancing control of a single-wheel robot is presented. In, two flywheels are used to generate control torque to stabilize the vehicle under the centrifugal force of turning. 5. Conclusion In this paper, state-of-the-art and future opportunities for flywheel energy storage systems are reviewed.
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
