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
The role of flywheel energy storage in decarbonised electrical power
The minimum speed of the flywheel is typically half its full speed, the storage energy is be given by ½ (1 2-0.5 2) I f w f 2 where I f is the rotor moment of inertia in kgm 2 and the w f maximum
