Technical FAQs 4

Can flywheel energy storage systems recover kinetic energy during deceleration?

Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) can recover and store vehicle kinetic energy during deceleration. In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been carried out using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique to determine the effects of design parameters on flywheel windage losses and heat transfer characteristics.

What is a flywheel energy storage system (fess)?

A vehicle’s kinetic energy can be recovered and stored in a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) (Erhan and Özdemir, 2021); therefore, optimisation of flywheel design is critical to the advancement of flywheel development and the reduction of emissions (Olabi et al., 2021, Choudhary et al., 2012).

Can flywheel energy storage improve transport decarbonisation?

The critical contribution of this work is studying the relationships and effects of various parameters on the performance of flywheel energy storage, which can pave the way for the implementation of energy-efficient flywheel energy storage systems for transport decarbonisation.

Can high-speed motor-flywheel energy storage systems be controlled?

Wang et al. (2022) developed a control strategy for High-Speed Motor-Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (HSM-FESS), with simulation models confirming the effectiveness of their approach. Furthering control mechanisms, Jia et al. (2022) outlined a control strategy that ensures stability and enhanced power output of FESS under low voltage conditions.
