The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) can complement the advantages of the BESS owing to its fast recharge time and high power density, and it has become a popular combination for hybrid energy storage system (HESS) [4, 5].
Flywheel Systems are more suited for applications that require rapid energy bursts, such as power grid stabilization, frequency regulation, and backup power for critical infrastructure. Battery Storage is typically a better choice for long-term energy storage, such as for renewable energy systems (solar or wind) or home energy storage.
Battery energy storage system (BESS) is widely used to smooth RES power fluctuations due to its mature technology and relatively low cost. However, the energy flow within a single BESS has been proven to be detrimental, as it increases the required size of the energy storage system and exacerbates battery degradation .
However, being one of the oldest ESS, the flywheel ESS (FESS) has acquired the tendency to raise itself among others being eco-friendly and storing energy up to megajoule (MJ). Along with these, FESS also surpasses the quality of high power density, longer life cycle, higher rate of charge and discharge cycle, and greater efficiency.
