Vaal University of Technology, Vanderbijlpark, Sou th Africa. Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
This flywheel energy storage system also requires motor speed control at the nominal speed level required by the generator to produce the optimal output voltage . A high-efficiency control system is required to ensure that the motor can drive the generator at the required speed.
However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage systems are suitable and economical when frequent charge and discharge cycles are required. Furthermore, flywheel batteries have high power density and a low environmental footprint.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.
The concept of flywheel energy storage is to store the electrical energy in the form of kinetic energy by rotating a flywheel which is connected mechanically between motor and
Beacon Power is developing a flywheel energy storage system that costs substantially less than existing flywheel technologies. Flywheels store the energy created by
At its core, flywheel energy storage spins a rotor at ultra-high speeds (up to 50,000 RPM) in a vacuum. When grid demand spikes, the kinetic energy converts back to electricity within
ESSs store intermittent renewable energy to create reliable micro-grids that run continuously and efficiently distribute electricity by balancing the supply and the load [1].
Their main advantage is their immediate response, since the energy does not need to pass any power electronics. However, only a small percentage of the energy stored in them can be
