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. ESSs store intermittent renewable energy to create reliable micro-grids that run continuously and efficiently distribute electricity by balancing the supply and the load [1]. Finally, the market structure is in the process of being reformed from one originally devised for a system of large centralised power stations and peaking plants to one fit for purpose for a system with high penetration. . The laws of physics (explained briefly in the box below—but you can skip them if you're not interested or you know about them already) tell us that large diameter and heavy wheels store more energy than smaller and lighter wheels, while flywheels that spin faster store much more energy than ones. . One energy storage technology now arousing great interest is the flywheel energy storage systems (FESS), since this technology can offer many advantages as an energy storage solution over the alternatives.
