The standby power supply system takes advantage of the fast response speed of the flywheel energy storage system 2 in charging and discharging, when the commercial power 1 fails, immediately supplies power to the output circuit 5 through the flywheel energy storage system 2 to avoid the fluctuation of the current and voltage of the output circuit 5 causing damage to the load, when the commercial power 1 cannot recover for a long time, the power supply is switched from the flywheel energy storage system 2 to the generator 3, which can ensure the long-term stable power supply of the output circuit 5, the power supply switching of the standby power supply is more stable, and the current and voltage of the output circuit 5 will not increase or decrease instantaneously, which protects the load and is convenient for protecting precision electrical appliances. The flywheel energy storage system can respond within milliseconds to provide instantaneous power, reducing the risk of power failure of critical equipment; the participation of the flywheel energy storage system can reduce the running time and starting frequency of the diesel generator, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, and more in line with environmental protection requirements; the service life of the flywheel energy storage system is usually longer, reducing the replacement cost and maintenance frequency.
