Magnetic suspension energy storage flywheel system diagram

The main technical indicators are as follows:

1) Peak power: 300KVA;

2) Peak energy: 1.125kWh;

3) Speed: 30000rpm;

4) Efficiency: 95%;

5) Operating temperature: -20~40℃。

In the field of smart grids, China generated approximately 6 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity nationwide in 2016, so the grid needs to be equipped with approximately 240 billion kilowatt-hours of frequency modulation capacity (calculated based on a frequency modulation ratio of 4%). If flywheel is used for frequency modulation, then: Compared with gas-fired frequency modulation power stations, CO2 emissions from flywheel energy storage power stations reduce annual emissions by approximately 130 million tons; compared with coal-fired thermal power, the annual emission reduction is approximately 336 million tons, equivalent to 54 million trees planted.
