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

Typically a flywheel designed to perform this type of energy exchange is a combination of a motor and a generator. Energy is transferred into the device for storage by using it as a motor to consume electrical energy and spin the mass. This energy can be recovered with an efficiency exceeding 80% by using the flywheel as an electrical
