Microgrid systems with distributed photovoltaic and other new energy sources are becoming widely used to supplement large power grids. However, with the increasing proportion of new energy in microgrid systems, the fluctuation in their output directly affects the overall stability of the microgrid systems. Flywheel is a powerful energy storage system that can adapt to short-term high-frequency charging and discharging and has better environmental adaptability and lesser pollution throughout the life cycle than the supercapacitor system. The combination of the flywheel and battery energy storage systems can smooth the fluctuations in the distributed new energy output and improve the stability of the microgrid system. However, the operating characteristics of flywheel and battery energy storage are quite different, and the control is difficult; thus, it is currently less used in microgrid systems. Herein, an AC and DC hybrid microgrid operation topology with distributed photovoltaic and battery-flywheel electromechanical hybrid energy storage system access is designed. Based on this, a coordinated control strategy of a microgrid system based on battery-flywheel electromechanical hybrid energy storage system is proposed. The control strategy divides the hybrid energy storage system into different states according to the remaining capacity of the flywheel and battery. It takes the output-rated power of different energy storage systems and the fluctuations in distributed new energy power simultaneously and adjusts the charging and discharging currents of the flywheel and battery to reduce the power fluctuations in the microgrid caused by new energy access. Herein, a microgrid system is built based on MATLAB/Simulink, and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed microgrid-coordinated control strategy.
