Hybrid PV System with High Speed Flywheel Energy Storage for Remote Residential Loads

Due to low system inertia in microgrids, frequencies may vary rapidly from the nominal value, leading complete blackout of unless there is an adequate spinning reserve available for balancing supply with demand load. This issue instability microgrids under islanded operation has attracted particular attention recently. A diesel generator considered be ideal provide back-up power load along renewable energy source system. However, high maintenance cost and CO2 emissions are detrimental factors which have inspired searches more effective cleaner technologies. The integration storage (ESS) not only reduces costs but also by limiting its operating hours. paper proposes PV hybrid microgrid (PVHMS) utilizing flywheel systems (FESS) as alternative battery technology support meet peak a small residential town 100 dwellings. used maintain stability when cannot demand. Results analysis such demonstrate that appropriate size offers viable solution standalone Furthermore, reduction fuel consumption been quantified compared case means always operating.
