Abstract
There are several energy storage systems (e.g. compressed air battery, battery and supercapacitors etc.) which are widely used according to the desired requirements. This report deals with the Performance of Flywheel Energy Storage on Wind Power Generation. Flywheel energy storage system which cannot be considered as an energy source but this system has the ability to store energy, and this energy can further be utilized as backup. The apparatus consists of flywheel, vertical axis wind turbine and its electrical system which uses air energy as an input to the wind turbine and also rotates the flywheel, and flywheel stores this energy in the form of kinetic energy. In this report we are mainly going to focus the effect of flywheel on the wind power generation, 3D modeling of our prototype of Performance of Flywheel Energy Storage on Wind Power Generation and analyzing this system through simulation.
