Customer ServiceElectric energy is supplied into flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) and stored as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is defined as the "energy of motion," in this situation, the motion of a rotating mass known as a rotor, rotates in a near-frictionless environment. When utility power is lost or fluctuates, the inertia of the rotor permits it to continue spinning, converting the
Customer ServiceElectrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy.

Customer ServicePrinciple of Flywheel Energy Storage: A flywheel is a rotating disk or cylinder that stores kinetic energy. When energy is input into the flywheel, it starts spinning, and the kinetic energy is stored in the form of rotational motion. The amount of energy stored in the flywheel is proportional to the mass and the square of the flywheel''s rotational speed. The formula for calculating the

Customer ServiceThe 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
Customer ServiceThe energy release from failure can be dampened with a gelatinous or encapsulated liquid inner housing lining, which will boil and absorb the energy of destruction. Still, many customers of large-scale flywheel energy-storage systems prefer to have them embedded in the ground to halt any material that might escape the containment vessel.
Customer ServiceA flywheel system stores energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a mass at high speed. Electrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) is a very interesting technology. Fig. 9.3 shows the working principle of FES. During the off-peak hours or when the electricity production is larger than the energy demand, surplus energy is used to drive the motor connected to the flywheel. This flywheel converts the electrical energy into rotational kinetic energy.
With this FESS, 66% of the brake energy can be stored and reused in the best conditions. In vehicles, a flywheel is specifically weighted to the vehicle’s crankshaft to smooth out the rough feeling and to save energy. In city buses and intercity taxis, it can have a huge impact on reducing fuel consumption.
The energy storage facility provided by flywheels are suitable for continuous charging and discharging options without any dependency on the age of the storage system. The important aspect to be taken note of in this regard is the ability of FES to provide inertia and frequency regulation .

In this method the stored energy is transferred to the grid by a generator, alternative current (AC)/direct current (DC) rectifier circuit, and DC/AC inverter circuit. Figure 7.8.
