The Beacon Power Stephentown – Flywheel Energy Storage System is a 20,000kW energy storage project located in Stephentown, New York, US. The electro-mechanical energy storage project uses flywheel as its storage technology. The project was announced in 2007 and was commissioned in 2011.
Beacon Power operates three flywheel energy storage plants that provide frequency regulation service in three different US markets. There are more than 400 flywheels in commercial operation today helping grid operators in NYISO, PJM and ISO-NE safely and efficiently balance power grid supply and demand to ensure reliability.
It simply absorbs power, stores it and is continuously ready to respond to any grid requirements to rapidly inject power. It is not a power plant in the conventional sense, but operates as a shock absorber and dynamic energy support system, absorbing and re-injecting small but highly flexible amounts of power to suit grid requirements.

The active power output of a wind power system needs regulation due to the stochastic nature of wind speed. A flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is a viable option for active power regulation in a wind power plant. An efficient energy management system (EMS) for FESS is required for healthy operation of the overall connected system.
The multilevel control strategy for flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) encompasses several phases, such as the start-up, charging, energy release, deceleration, and fault detection phases. This comprehensive …
This paper deals with the design and the experimental validation in scale-lab test benches of an energy management algorithm based on feedback control techniques for a flywheel energy storage device. The aim of the flywheel is to smooth the net power injected to the grid by a wind turbine or by a wind power plant. In particular, the objective is to compensate the power …
