  • Abstract
    This letter proposes that the high-capacity kinetic energy storage afforded by present superflywheels can be combined with an ac/dc/ac power-electronic converter system to provide unique stable economic energy transfer as needed from the variable-speed storage unit to the fixed-frequency utility grid.
