Abstract
Climatic changes and depletion of fossil fuels attract the usage of renewable energy sources (RESs) in recent years. The intermittent nature of the RES requires energy storage systems (ESSs) and causes transients, which affect the quality of the power produced by them. In microgrid systems, distributed energy sources (DESs) are used to support each other as well to reach the load demand. DESs possess both RESs and non-RESs to ensure an uninterrupted power supply. Whenever insufficient power is produced by RESs, the switch over among the DESs is required. This switchover is normally smoothened by using ESSs. In recent years, flywheels are utilized as energy storage systems for their potential to smooth out transients in the grids. This paper discusses the application of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) for a 2-kW photovoltaic (PV) powered microgrid system. The modeling methodology for FESS suitable for the microgrid is discussed in this paper using MATLAB-Simulink. The performance and utility of the FESS in smoothing out transients owing to the switch over of power sources are analyzed.
