This document describes a flywheel energy storage system. It includes an introduction, block diagram, theory of operation, design, components, circuit diagram, advantages and disadvantages, and conclusion. . 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. Since the inertial energy stored in a flywheel varies as the square of its rpm, it can discharge 90 percent of its maximum stored energy from maximum to minimum speed limits. For discharging, the motor acts a a generator, braking the rotor to produce elect s electrical energy into mechanical energy. . used on reducing energy consumption effectively.
