Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is an electromechanical energy storage system which can exchange electrical power with the electric network. It consists of an electrical machine, back-to-back converter, DC link capacitor and a massive disk.
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.
Flywheels, one of the earliest forms of energy storage, could play a significant role in the transformation of the electri-cal power system into one that is fully sustainable yet low cost.
Lifespan: Flywheels tend to last much longer than batteries, especially for high-cycle applications. Suitability for Short-Term Energy Needs: Flywheels excel in managing short-term energy surges or imbalances, while batteries are often better for long-term storage.
