Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor 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 …
Flywheels are one of the world’s oldest forms of energy storage, but they could also be the future. This article examines flywheel technology, its benefits, and the research from Graz University of Technology. Energy storage has risen to prominence in the past decade as technologies like renewable energy and electric vehicles have emerged.
Electric vehicles are typical representatives of new energy vehicle technology applications, which are developing rapidly and the market is huge. Flywheel energy storage systems can be mainly used in the field of electric vehicle charging stations and on-board flywheels.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.

Flywheel (FW) saves the kinetic energy in a high-speed rotational disk connected to the shaft of an electric machine and regenerates the stored energy in the network when it is necessary . First use of FW regurgitates to the primitives who had applied it to make fire and later, FWs have been used for mechanical energy storage .
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel’s secondary functionality apart from energy storage. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
