Flywheel energy storage control system with the system operating status control via the Internet

Abstract

Modern electronics systems consist of not only with the power electronics converters, but also with the friendly user interface which allow you to read the operating parameters and change them. The simplest solution of the user interface is to use alphanumeric display which displays information about the state of the converter. With a few additional buttons you can change the settings. This solution is simple, inexpensive but allows only local control (within walking distance from the system) and the number of displayed information is low. You can create extensive menu, but it causes problems with access to information. This paper presents the example of a rotating energy storage universal solution which is lack of the above mentioned disadvantages

Energy storage systems: power grid and energy market use cases

“…For instance, hydrogen installations have been tested and evaluated in the residential sector (and on small scale) [24] and processes of reversible electrolysis have been analyzed [25,26]. Flywheel energy storage systems [27,28] or supercapacitors [29] are being used to recover energy or to stabilize the running of electric drives. The latest studies of electric vehicles for anticipated mass use are especially promising, thus suggesting that the efficiency of storage systems will improve.…”
