Does the flywheel energy storage in communication base stations need acceptance

The flywheel energy storage systems can be used for stability design in high power impulse load in independent power systems [187, 188]. A combined closed-loop based on the genetic algorithm with a forward-feed control system with fast response and steady accuracy is designed .

The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.

However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.

Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.

Zhang employed a high-speed flywheel energy storage system (FESS) charge–discharge control method based on the DC traction network voltage to achieve effective operation of the FESS in the subway traction power supply system .
