High Efficiency Flywheel Motor Generator Model with Frequency Converter Controlled

Flywheel motor generator (FMG) system or normally called a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) becomes the main consideration in power stability of micro-grid, transportation, portable power supply, and renewable energy power station such a solar or wind. Its contribution in stabilizing power production and reducing power consumption is undeniable. High power consumption in the small-scale industry especially sprays dryer factory become a major issue due to high-cost production. Load such a heating element needs more power consumption to operate and achieve the desired temperature. High-efficiency FMG can be an alternative power backup to reduce power consumption by serving a separate supply to the load (heater). This paper is focused on modeling and simulation of the FMG system. The simulation result shows that the system proposed can provide very high efficiency with stable output power and also can reduce the cost of production due to power consumption reduction.

Automated summary

Flywheel energy storage systems, also known as flywheel motor generator systems, are essential for power stability in various fields such as micro-grids, transportation, portable power supply, and renewable energy power stations like solar or wind. These systems contribute significantly to stabilizing power production and reducing power consumption. In industries with high power consumption, such as spray dryer factories, efficient FMG systems can serve as alternative power backups to effectively reduce power consumption.
