Flywheel Energy Storage (FES) is a type of mechanical energy storage system that uses rotational kinetic energy to store and generate electricity. This technology involves spinning a flywheel at high speeds to store energy, which can be rapidly released when needed. 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. Kinetic energy can be described as “energy of motion,” in this case the motion of a spinning mass, called a rotor. The core technology is the rotor material, support bearing, and electromechanical control system. FES systems have been gaining attention in recent years. .

The answer lies in upfront costs. Current flywheel installations average $1,100-$1,500 per kW compared to $700-$900/kW for lithium batteries [1] [10]. However, when considering total lifecycle value, the picture changes dramatically. The cost of a flywheel energy storage system varies based on several factors, including size, design, and installation requirements. Finally, application area of FES technology is presented including energy storage and attitude control in satellite, high-power uninterrupted power supply (UPS, electric vehicle (EV), power quality problem. Pumped Hydro Storages (PHSs) are the most cost-effective ESSs with a. . FESS is typically positioned between ultracapacitor storage (high cycle life but also very high storage cost) and battery storage, (low storage cost but limited cycle life).
