| Summary: | A worth analysis is made for an advanced flywheel storage concept for tandem operation with photovoltaics currently being developed at MIT/Lincoln Laboratories. The applications examined here are a single family residence and a multi-family load center, 8 kWp and 100 kWp, respectively. The objectives were to determine optimal flywheel sizing for the various operating environments and to determine the financial parameters that would affect market penetration. The operating modes included both utility interface and remote, stand-alone logics. All studies were performed by computer simulation. |
