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.
One of the advantages of flywheel technology is the environmental tolerance; chemical batteries perform poorly outside of a limited temperature range which often necessitates axillary heating and cooling systems that reduce system power conversion efficiency.
A flywheel is a “mechanical battery” that stores kinetic or moving energy. The basic concept of a spinning mass is well-established and is found in many mechanical systems such as automotive engines.
