A Study on Optimal Application Strategies of SFES through Comparison Studies for Energy Storage Devices

에너지 저장장치 비교연구를 통한 초전도 플라이휠의 최적 활용 방안 연구

It is fascinated research theme to store electric energy as much as possible and to utilize it at the point of proper time. Especially, the demand for energy storage devices has been increased based on the interest for distributed generation and smartgrid. As the results for a number of researches on it, various types of energy storage devices have been developed. Each devices have its own dynamic characteristics, power capacity, and storage capacity followed by storage mechanism. In this paper, the comparison research for various energy storage devices has been performed based on power capacity, storage capacity, discharging time, lifetime, efficiency, and cost. Application researches of SFES(superconducting flywheel energy storage), characterized as 300kW-100kWh, have been performed also.
