Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor () and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel.

Are flywheel energy storage systems feasible?
Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
What are the application areas of flywheel technology?
Application areas of flywheel technology will be discussed in this review paper in fields such as electric vehicles, storage systems for solar and wind generation as well as in uninterrupted power supply systems. Keywords - Energy storage systems, Flywheel, Mechanical batteries, Renewable energy. 1. Introduction
Where is a flywheel energy storage system located?
Source: Endesa, S.A.U. Another significant project is the installation of a flywheel energy storage system by Red Eléctrica de España (the transmission system operator (TSO) of Spain) in the Mácher 66 kV substation, located in the municipality of Tías on Lanzarote (Canary Islands).
How can flywheels be more competitive to batteries?
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
Since they do not have any mechanical parts, battery storage power plants offer extremely short control times and start times, as little as 10 ms. They can therefore help dampen the fast oscillations that occur when electrical power networks are operated close to their maximum capacity or when grids suffer anomalies. These instabilities – fluctuations with periods of as much as 30 sec.
