Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, Sou th Africa. 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.
A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
A grid-scale flywheel energy storage system is able to respond to grid operator control signal in seconds and able to absorb the power fluctuation for as long as 15 minutes. Flywheel storage has proven to be useful in trams.
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.

Power has been restored to over 800,000 residents in Kyiv, a day after Russia launched major attacks on Ukraine's power grid, causing widespread blackouts.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Energy Security Project, transferred 137 generators worth about UAH 40 mln to the Communal Utility Kyivteploenergo (CU KTE).
"Emergency repair work is ongoing, and most consumers had their power restored by Monday morning," it said. Mykola Kalashnyk, the governor of Kyiv region, said the attack had damaged the local gas grid and that over 8,000 properties in eight settlements would be disconnected from their gas supply over the next two days as repairs were carried out.
The CU Kyivteploenergo’s staff quickly mastered the algorithms of switching the boiler houses to generators. Those processes, earlier practiced during training sessions on generator usage, became a part of their routine work. “During emergency power outages, the generators enabled us to be ready for a blackout scenario.
