Results show that the flywheel releases energy when the pumping unit works in the upstroke mode and absorbs energy when the pumping unit works in the downstroke mode. Therefore, the installation of an energy storage flywheel in a beam pumping unit could effectively reduce the initial torque of the motor and reduce the fluctuation amplitude with ...
Abstract: The operation of the electricity network has grown more complex due to the increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is fly-wheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
Energy storage in flywheels. A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation.

In this section, we consider the scenario where a FESMS consisting of four flywheel units operates in discharge mode for the first 20 seconds. The sampling time is set to be 0.0001 s. The communication topology between the flywheel units is shown in Fig. 3, and the parameters and initial states are given in Table 1..
The largest flywheel energy storage is in New York, USA by Beacon Power with a power rating of 20 MW and 15 min discharge duration [58]. Utility-scale flywheel storage is typically used for frequency regulation to maintain grid frequency by matching electricity supply and demand for a short period, usually 15 min [6], [59] .
