Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to batteries, particularly in applications that require rapid response times and short-duration storage. . However, wind and solar power's intermittent nature prevents them from be-ing independent and reliable energy sources for micro-grids. Energy storage systems (ESS) play an essential role in providing continu-ous and high-quality power. What is a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS)? A flywheel energy storage system. . Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. However, the high maintenance cost and CO 2 emissions of diesel generator are detrimental factors which have inspired searches for more. . 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. .
