Flywheel Energy Storage Systems are interesting solutions for energy storage, featuring advantageous characteristics when compared to other technologies. Research focuses on cost aspects, system reliability, and energy density improvement for these systems. In this context, a novel shaftless outer-rotor layout is proposed.
This project explored flywheel energy storage R&D to reach commercial viability for utility scale energy storage. This required advancing the design, manufacturing capability, system cost, storage capacity, efficiency, reliability, safety, and system level operation of flywheel energy storage technology.
Guelph Hydro needed to connect a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) at their Arlen Transformer Station (TS). The system would be comprised of ten 500 kW, 480V energy storage flywheels with the ability to inject and store up to 5.0 MW of electrical power to Guelph Hydro’s 13.8 kV distribution system.
The total energy content or storage capacity of a flywheel is 864 Wh (NEDC) and 416 Wh (FTP 75). The effective flywheel storage capacity, which refers to the range of the energy content in the flywheel between the minimum and maximum value, is 648 Wh (NEDC) and 312 Wh (FTP 75).
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
