Another energy accumulator is given by using mecanichal kinetic energy of fly-wheel. Each system has advantages and disadvantage from the point of wiew of the quantity of stored energy and magnitude of the instantaneous usable power. A realistic application of energy storage, using the advantages of their complementarity. The modern energy conversion techniques allow fast, and flexible power control, and also reactive power compensation.power conversionenergy storagebatterycontrol structuresreactive power compensationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
