Management of flywheel energy storage
Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. . 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. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. 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. . At the heart of this transformational journey lies the concept of energy storage, and one particular method is making waves: flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). [PDF Version]
