A flywheel stores mechanical energy that is converted to electrical energy by an electrical machine with a reciprocal power converter in flywheel-based energy storage systems.
Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to batteries, particularly in applications that require rapid response times and short
While battery storage remains the dominant choice for long-term energy storage, flywheel systems are well-suited for applications requiring rapid energy release and frequent cycling.
FESS is used for short-time storage and typically offered with a charging/discharging duration between 20 seconds and 20 minutes. However, one 4-hour duration system is available on the market.

In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywheel systems would eliminate many of th
This performance trade-off means flywheels are not suited for long-term storage or electric vehicles, where maximizing energy capacity is the priority. The environmental profile of flywheel
When a flywheel is used entirely for its effects on the attitude of a vehicle, rather than for energy storage, it is called a reaction wheel or a control moment gyroscope.
Systems offer a compelling alternative, storing energy mechanically as kinetic energy in a rotating mass, providing a fundamentally different approach to energy storage.
Advances in power electronics, magnetic bearings, and flywheel materials coupled with innovative integration of components have resulted in direct current (DC) flywheel energy storage systems that
