Abstract
This paper analyzes a hybrid energy system performance with photovoltaic (PV) and diesel systems as
the energy sources. The hybrid energy system is equipped with flywheel to store excess energy from the
PV. HOMER software was employed to study the economic and environmental benefits of the system
with flywheels energy storage for Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The analysis focused on the impact of utilizing
flywheel on power generation, energy cost, and net present cost for certain configurations of hybrid
system. Analyses on fuel consumption and carbon emission reductions for the system configurations
were also presented in this paper.
