Review of Flywheel Energy Storage Systems structures and applications in power systems and microgrids

Summary In the existent paper, the performance of thermal storage hybrid buildings exploiting the latent heat of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal refrigeration and heating of the contemporary period has been investigated. The conventional buildings consume a large amount of electricity, primarily for the heating and cooling applications. Electricity generation primarily relies on coal‐based thermal power plants. The emissions from these establishments pose a serious threat to the environment. Moreover, conventional heating/cooling units rely on exorbitant energy cost. The usage of any kind of thermal storage system is an efficacious way of stockpiling thermal energy and utilizing it when needed. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of the available thermal storage units incorporating PCMs. The various segments of the buildings, viz, ceiling, window, wall, and floor have been analyzed in details. The results are quite promising in terms of load reduction and overall energy saving. Indoor surface temperature reduction of up to 7oC has been achieved. The energy saving of up to 40% can be realized by employing PCM. A comprehensive list of the PCMs is also tried to build up for end users according to their temperature requirement.

Energy storage has been proven to yield positive effects on planning, operation and control of electric grids. It has become a crucial task to properly model the energy storage systems (ESS) under the framework of grid optimization on transmission and distribution networks including microgrids. This paper presents a review on mathematical models and test cases of ESSs used for grid optimization studies, where the network constraints of power systems are included. The existing ESS models are mainly classified into two categorieslinear and nonlinear models. The two main categories are further divided into several subcategories respectively; such as mixed-integer linear and convex nonlinear sub-categories. Based on the review and discussions, this paper aims at providing suggestions for choosing proper ESS models for specific grid optimization studies considering the chosen power network model.

“…The cost and power density of the low speed FESS is lower than the high-speed FESS, which makes low speed FESS suitable for power quality applications as mentioned in a previous study. 23 The main contribution of the paper can be summarized as follows: 1. The FOC strategy is used for the machine-side Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) of the FESS as a high-performance strategy, which is suggested only in this paper for low speed FESSs.…”

Summary Imbalance between generation and consumption in each instant can result in frequency instability. A storage device that responds quickly to changes and is capable of energy injection or consumption in a microgrid (MG) can improve frequency stability. The Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) has this characteristic. In this paper, a detailed model of the FESS is presented, and its control strategies for frequency regulation are proposed and discussed. The field oriented control is used for machine‐side convertor control of FESS. Two MG islanding scenarios and the performance of the proposed control strategy are studied by MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results show good FESS performance with regard to frequency changes in the MG.
