2. Description of Flywheel Energy Storage System 2.1. Background The flywheel as a means of energy storage has existed for thousands of years as one of the earliest mechanical energy storage systems.
The flywheel works under the effect of maintaining its energy by its inertia. 43 Potter''s wheel is an example used as a rotatory object that undergoes the effect. More of it, such as hand mills, lathe, water wheel, and other manually operated rotary objects, performs the flywheel applications.

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

Flywheel energy storage system topology. Another method used in flywheel energy storage systems is to store energy with high speed. In this method the rotating object is rotated up to 100,000 rpm . The rotating object weight is low in this method. This method is used in small applications in terms of volume and weight.
The operational mechanism of a flywheel has two states: energy storage and energy release. Energy is stored in a flywheel when torque is applied to it. The torque increases the rotational speed of the flywheel; as a result, energy is stored. Conversely, the energy is released in the form of torque to the connected mechanical device .
