Flywheel energy storage
NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor 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 …

A superconducting high-speed flywheel energy storage system
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS), coupled to an electrical motor-generator, also have been used to equalize the electrical power demand. These systems draw energy, smoothly, from the electrical system, store and return it at the demand peak. At the moment, most systems use heavy flywheels that operate at low speeds with a low …
