Resilient Flywheel-Based Energy Storage Platform for Power Substations and Transportation Electrification

This project is aiming at the development of flywheel-based energy storage platform as integrated with power grid substation that will ensure sustainable and safe operation during normal and emergency conditions. It provides reduced operational costs with reduced GHG emissions in energy infrastructures. The design of a resilient energy storage platform is developed to be integrated with power substation and fast charging system for transportation electrification. The focus is to design a resilient energy storage platform, which includes battery and flywheel system, to be integrated with power substation to ensure stable and reliable power support to their customers. The integration of energy storage system will provide balance between the loads and supply while stabilizing the performance of substation. This requires dynamic storage systems to charge quickly, and to stabilize the dynamic behavior of the substation during charging / discharging cycles.
