Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel energy storage uses electric motors to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high speed so that the electrical power is transformed into mechanical power and stored, and when

At the core is the rotor – a cylindrical or disc-shaped mass that spins at high speed, often in excess of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. When excess electricity
To maximize the stored energy, flywheels are designed to have a large mass concentrated at the outer edge and are spun at
The speed of flywheel energy storage typically operates at high rotational speeds ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), depending on the design and
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. The energy is converted back by
principle of rotating mass causes energy to store in a flywheel by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy. 39 The energy fed to an FESS is
To maximize the stored energy, flywheels are designed to have a large mass concentrated at the outer edge and are spun at extremely high speeds, sometimes reaching
Energy Storage: The flywheel continues to spin at high speed, maintaining energy as long as friction and resistance are minimized. The longer it spins, the more energy it holds, similar to
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.
