Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, Sou th Africa. 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.
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
The city of Fresno in California is running flywheel storage power plants built by Amber Kinetics to store solar energy, which is produced in excess quantity in the daytime, for consumption at night. Intermittent nature of variable renewable energy is another challenge.
QuinteQ developed a containerized flywheel energy storage system (Figure 1) that reduces peak power demand of electric cranes by up to 65%. The demonstration concluded in April 2024 at the Rhenus Waalhaven Terminal in Rotterdam. 1. QuinteQ's flywheel is safe, compact, and can be placed in a regular shipping container.
