In FESSs, electric energy is transformed into kinetic energy and stored by rotating a flywheel at high speeds. An FESS operates in three distinct modes: charging, discharging, and holding. Charging mode: During this phase, the flywheel rotor absorbs external energy and stores. . A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to. . There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. This paper gives a review of the recent developments in FESS technologies.
