Flywheel energy storage Low Carbon Futures（飞轮储能低碳未来）.pdfVIP

Factsheet to accompany the report “Pathways for energy storage in the UK” Flywheel energy storage 85%, and demonstrated a 100% probability of positive NPV in both the NYISO and PJM markets, Brief description of technology compared with a 98% probability of negative NPV in the NaS system [1]. See table 1 for further Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) on a grid analysis. scale is a recent development, and at this scale it is currently regarded as a solution to the regulation Current FESS designs are modular and scalable, market more than the capacity market [1]. Grid with larger flywheels rated at 250kW for 10 to 15 scale FESS have very fast response times and reach minutes [4], or 500 kW for 36 seconds [5]. The rated power in seconds, while possessing relatively largest system installed to date is in Stephentown, low energy capacities capable of supplying rated NY State, and is a 20 MW plant comprising 200 x power typically for the order of minutes. 100 kW flywheels (see Figure 1)[6]. A FESS consists of a motor/generator unit attached to a rotor of large mass, which is levitated by magnetic bearings inside a strong vacuum chamber in order to minimise frictional losses due to air friction on the flywheel [2]. When grid energy must be absorbed, electrical energy is rapidly diverted to the motor units which accelerate the flywheel. Thus excess
