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.
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) are found in a variety of applications ranging from grid-connected energy management to uninterruptible power supplies. With the progress of technology, there is fast renovation involved in FESS application.
ENERGIESTRO invented a flywheel made of prestressed concrete that will enable to reduce the high cost of energy storage (in comparison with batteries). – power supply to remote sites: telecommunications antennas, housing… The ENERGIESTRO flywheel is the ideal storage for large solar power plants in desert areas.
Other opportunities for flywheels are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries.
Small-scale flywheel energy storage systems have relatively low specific energy figures once volume and weight of containment is comprised. But the high specific power possible, constrained only by the electrical machine and the power converter interface, makes this technology more suited for buffer storage applications.
A 10 MJ flywheel energy storage system, used to maintain high quality electric power and guarantee a reliable power supply from the distribution network, was tested in the year 2000. The FES was able to keep the voltage in the distribution network within 98–102% and had the capability of supplying 10 kW of power for 15 min . 3.5.7.

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 to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th…
