found from the experiment. Using this parameter the control
system was designed, tested and verified. It was observed that
flywheel storage can deliver power smoothly to the grid. In
this way, FESS reduces the frequency fluctuations in the
system. So an addition of a flywheel to the Ramea hybrid
power system will improve the overall system performance
with a better stability and longer life.
