Flywheel Systems for Utility Scale Energy Storage
The flywheel was brought to full speed (9,000 rotations per minute [rpm]) which is equivalent to the maximum energy storage capacity of 32kWh for the M32 flywheel. Using custom controls software, the speed was increased to 9,653 rpm which is a 15% overstress condition to the flywheel rotor.

OverviewMain componentsPhysical characteristicsApplicationsComparison to electric batteriesSee alsoFurther readingExternal links
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…

Energy management of flywheel-based energy storage device for wind power smoothing …
Abstract. Power fluctuations of wind generators may affect power quality especially in weak or isolated grids. This paper proposes an energy management strategy for a flywheel-based energy storage device. The aim of the flywheel is to smooth the net power flow injected to the grid by a variable speed wind turbine.

Learn how flywheel energy storage works | Planète Énergies
The technology is referred to as a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). The amount of energy stored is proportional to the mass of the rotor, the square of its rotational speed and the square of its radius. Flywheel energy storage consists in storing kinetic energy via the rotation of a heavy object. Find out how it works.
