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.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.

Flywheel energy storage system (FESS), is a mechanical energy storage that stores energy in the form of kinetic energy in rotating mass. It has been used for many years to store energy and to stabilize variable speed operation of rotating machine. The first generation of FESS was composed of a large steel wheel that was attached to an axle to
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. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
The energy storage capacity of an FESS can be enhanced by increasing the speed and size of the flywheel rotor. However, a significant limitation of FESSs comes from the bearings that support the flywheel rotor.
Flywheel energy storage or FES is a storage device which stores/maintains kinetic energy through a rotor/flywheel rotation. The torque increases the rotational speed of the flywheel; as a result, energy is stored. Conversely, the energy is released in the form of torque to the connected mechanical device [74]. The stored kinetic energy of a flywheel is expressed by: (6) E k = 1 / 2
