P = V1V2Sinδ / X =0 To summarize, we can say that if the angle between V1 and V2 is zero, the flow of active power becomes zero and the flow of reactive power depends on (V1 – V2). Thus for flow of reactive power there are two possibilities. 1) If the magnitude of V1 is more than V2, then reactive power will flow from source V1 to V2.

A 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.
