Flywheel
A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy, a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia

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.
Flywheel energy storage stores energy in the form of mechanical energy in a high-speed rotating rotor. The core technology is the rotor material, support bearing, and
Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of FESSs, we survey different design approaches, choices of subsystems, and the effects on performance, cost, and applications.
Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is an electromechanical system that stores energy in the form of kinetic energy. A mass coupled with electric machine rotates on two magnetic bearings
Structure and components of flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Aerodynamic drag and bearing friction are the main sources of standby losses in the flywheel rotor part of a...
Fig. 1 shows the basic layout of a flywheel energy storage system. Also, necessary power electronic devices are set up with the system in order to control the power in and output,
Flywheels store energy in the form of the angular momentum of a spinning mass, called a rotor. The work done to spin the mass is stored in the form of kinetic energy. Video 1 is a simple
