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. 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 system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th

Flywheel Energy Storage System: What Is It and How Does It

In a flywheel energy storage system, electrical energy is used to spin a flywheel at incredibly high speeds. The flywheel, made of durable materials like composite carbon fiber, stores energy in
