| Abstract | The focus of this competition is on integration of energy storage technologies into the energy system, and not ondeveloping the underlying technologies. The industrial partner Williams Grand Prix Engineering have already developed theunderlying technology behind the flywheel, and have a fully working product. The project is therefore aims to look at howmultiple flywheel units can be best integrated into the grid. This will include developing a control strategy for a multipleflywheel system in order to optimise efficiency, and life. Optimal arrangements of grid tie inverters (size and quantity) interms of efficiency and cost, will also be investigated for a wide range of power requirements, to further improve the complete energy-storage package | |
