A review of flywheel energy storage systems: state of the art

FESSs are still competitive for applications that need frequent charge/discharge at a large number of cycles. Flywheels also have the least environmental impact amongst the

Technology: Flywheel Energy Storage

FESS can be used in conjunction with medium and long duration mechanical/thermal/chemical storages to mitigate slow ramp up times of the latter and accelerate storage response.
