First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass.OverviewFlywheel 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 a. . A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce fricti. . Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10, up to 10, cycles.

At its core, a flywheel energy storage system stores energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy. The system consists of a large rotating mass, or rotor, that spins inside a vacuum-sealed container. 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.

The flywheel (also named as rotor or rim) is the essential part of a FESS. This part stores most of the kinetic energy during the operation. As such, the rotor's design is critical for energy capacity and is usually the starting point of the entire FESS design. In this way, the flywheel can store and supply power where it is needed Flywheels can store energy kinetically in a high speed. . In, operates in a flywheel storage power plant with 200 flywheels of 25 kWh capacity and 100 kW of power. The units operate at a peak speed at 15,000 rpm. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
