The principle of rotating mass causes energy to store in a flywheel by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy. 39 The energy fed to an FESS is mostly dragged from an electrical energy source, which may or may not be connected to the grid. The speed of the flywheel increases and slows down as it stores energy and gets discharged

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.

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 results in
