Energy storage flywheels are usually supported by active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems to avoid friction loss. Therefore, it can store energy at high efficiency over a long duration. Although it was estimated in [3] that after 2030, li-ion batteries would be more cost-competitive than any alternative for most applications.
The ABB motor and drive takes excess electrical energy from the grid and uses it to speed up the rotation of the flywheel, so it is stored as kinetic energy. When a fast injection of power is needed to maintain frequency stability, the regenerative capability of the drive converts the flywheel''s kinetic energy back into electricity within milliseconds.
