What is the Principle of Flywheel Energy Storage?
1 Answers
Flywheel energy storage refers to an energy storage method that uses an electric motor to drive a flywheel to rotate at high speed, and then uses the flywheel to drive a generator to produce electricity when needed. The following is a related introduction to flywheel energy storage: Structural Composition: The flywheel energy storage system mainly consists of three parts: the rotor system, the bearing system, and the energy conversion system. Additionally, there are some supporting systems such as vacuum, cryogenic, housing, and control systems. Application Scope: It can be applied in electric vehicle batteries, battery-free magnetic levitation flywheel energy storage UPS, uninterruptible power supplies, uninterrupted power supply for wind power generation systems, high-power pulse discharge power supplies, etc.
