Among the various energy storage technologies, flywheel energy storage (FES) stands out for its unique approach, leveraging the principles of kinetic energy. 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. . While batteries have been the traditional method, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are emerging as an innovative and potentially superior alternative, particularly in applications like time-shifting solar power. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required. This innovative approach harnesses kinetic energy to create a robust storage solution that addresses some major challenges faced by. . In FESSs, electric energy is transformed into kinetic energy and stored by rotating a flywheel at high speeds. An FESS operates in three distinct modes: charging, discharging, and holding.
