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.

Over large distances, the signals must be relayed by a communication network comprising base stations and often supported by a wired network. The power of a base station varies (typically between 10 and 50 watts) depending on the area that needs to be covered and the number of calls. . The average 5G base station consumes 2. 5-4 kW daily – equivalent to powering 40 refrigerators simultaneously. Three factors amplify this: Operators now spend 20-40% of OpEx on electricity, with cooling systems accounting for 30% of that load. It usually connects the device to other networks or devices through a dedicated high bandwidth wire of fiber optic connection. Moreover, we know that 5G consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heat, and the computer room must operate at a specified temperature (18 ° C-28 ° C) to function properly. stations and the backhaul network. per active user of approximately 3 Mb/s.
