Power and energy characteristics of flywheen ESS and supercapacitor ESS. A supercapacitor has less kW and Wh per unit weight. Supercapacitors may have a smaller MW per unit volume. However, a flywheel may have a smaller energy density per unit volume.
Cost analysis for peak demand reduction. Based on the aforementioned assumptions, it was concluded that the flywheel has a lower cost than the supercapacitor, and can be considered a more cost-effective solution for peak demand reduction.
