ts will show the values of current and voltage from 0 to 58.5 Km from Duved. In figure 23, there is a comparison on the overhead line voltage for a power system with a FESS that delivers 3MW and 0,5MVAr (purple line), a. FESS that delivers 3MW and 0MVAr (green line) during 5 minutes (around 8Km). Along these 5 minutes.
The flywheel schematic shown in Fig. 11.1 can be considered as a system in which the flywheel rotor, defining storage, and the motor generator, defining power, are effectively separate machines that can be designed accordingly and matched to the application. This is not unlike pumped hydro or compressed air storage whereas for
Energy storage systems (ESS) provide a means for improving the efficiency of electrical systems when there are imbalances between supply and demand. Additionally, they are a key element for improving the stability and quality of electrical networks. They add flexibility into the electrical system by mitigating the supply intermittency, recently made worse by

This high-speed FESS stores 2.8 kWh energy, and can keep a 100-W light on for 24 hours. Some FESS design considerations such as cooling system, vacuum pump, and housing will be simplified since the ISS is situated in a vacuum space. In addition to storing energy, the flywheel in the ISS can be used in navigation.
