  • Publication number: 20180069399
    Abstract: A method for controlling AC frequency of electrical power being distributed to an electrical distribution network that is connected to one or more electrical loads and to one or more power sources includes: electrically coupling an energy storage sub-system to the electrical distribution network, said energy storage sub-system including one or more flywheel energy storage systems; and controlling operation of each of the flywheel energy storage systems responsive to the AC frequency of the electrical power, so the electrical storage subsystem injects or absorbs an amount of electrical energy into or from the electrical distribution network so as to regulate the AC frequency of the electrical power being distributed to the electrical distribution network so as to be at or about a desired AC frequency.
