This article presents the structure of the Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) and proposes a plan to use them in the grid system as an energy "regulating" element. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to. . The ex-isting energy storage systems use various technologies, including hydro-electricity, batteries, supercapacitors, thermal storage, energy storage flywheels,[2] and others. Pumped hydro has the largest deployment so far, but it is limited by geographical locations. OverviewA flywheel-storage power system uses a for, (see ) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak. .
