Flywheel technology is a sophisticated energy storage system that uses a spinning wheel to store mechanical energy as rotational energy. With forces that help keep the flywheel stable, it can maintain efficiency. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the. . Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. These. . There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications.
