| Abstract | Based on field-tested performance and third-party evaluations, Beacon Power has demonstrated that high-energy flywheel systems are a sustainable energy storage option for many electrical applications. Successful power quality implementations range from low-power telecommunications equipment (low-kW for hours) to high-power industrial support (hundreds of kW for seconds). Using this proven technology, Beacon Power has begun development of a modular, high-energy system to deliver robust and responsive megawatt output levels — for seconds, minutes and even hours. This flywheel energy matrix would be ideal for grid stabilization, spinning reserves, renewable power, and distributed resource applications. For example, a system such as this would have sufficient energy to provide the minutes needed for ride-through capability to start smaller gas turbine-powered generators. This paper describes thc tecchnical feasibility of combining thc best features of flywheel energy storage with standard high-power electronics for energy storage and delivery. Two system-level configuration options are discussed: 1) Fixed installations, comprising a matrix of flywheels installed in a building with the Power Conversion System (PCS); and, 2) Deployable, portable equipment, based on a system-modular approach comprising an array of flywheels and PCS packaged in a standard shipping container to be easily dispatched for grid stabilization or load support. The technical discussion includes a building block-level component description of the flywheel and its motor/generator drive, electrical ratings, mechanical ratings and more. At a system level, an overview of component interconnection is provided, including links to the PCS. In addition, footprint and weight values are illustrated for both proposed system configuration options. This paper also includes a more detailed examination of ways in which this innovative energy storage solution can be economically used in electric supply systems. The flywheel’s deep discharge and resilient, high-power cyclic capability, combined with a long design life, make it an ideal solution for voltage and frequency stabilization as well as an attractive, passive alternative for spinning reserves. The paper focuses and expands upon the strengths and limitations of today’s flywheel technologies. Finally, the effects and impact of the ways that energy is produced, delivered, and consumed are summarized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
