Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel.

4 FAQs about Colombia 40MW10MWh flywheel frequency regulation energy storage project

Do flywheel energy storage systems provide fast and reliable frequency regulation services?

Throughout the process of reviewing the existing FESS applications and integration in the power system, the current research status shows that flywheel energy storage systems have the potential to provide fast and reliable frequency regulation services, which are crucial for maintaining grid stability and ensuring power quality.

Why is flywheel a good option for a hybrid energy storage system?

Due to the advantage of flywheel, minimizing the operation times of BESS and giving priority of flywheel to respond the fluctuations is proved to be an available option to improve the life span of BESS, reduce the probability of explosion of BESS and secure operation of the hybrid energy storage system.

Are flywheels more competitive for frequency regulation?

They found that FESSs are more competitive when it comes to short terms frequency regulations in the future. In paper , , by examining different energy storage, flywheel is economically more attractive for frequency regulation. However, these studies used aggregated capital cost without considering equipment design and sizing.

Can a flywheel be used for frequency stabilization?

An early example of the use of a flywheel for frequency stabilization is found in the study by Davies et al. , published in 1988. This study presents results from a wind-diesel system with a 60 kW wind turbine installed on Fair Isle, Scotland. A flywheel was added to control and regulate the frequency, aiming to prevent frequency spikes.
