In this study, an engineering principles-based model was developed to size the components and to determine the net energy ratio and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of two configurations of flywheel energy storage: steel rotor flywheel and composite rotor flywheel. These attributes make FESS suitable for integration i to power systems in a wide range of applications e energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can im rove the stability and quality of the power grid. Compared with other energy storage systems, FESSs offer numerous advantages, including a long lifespan, exceptional efficiency, high power density, and minimal environmental impact. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational. . Compared with chemical batteries, flywheel has several attractive features: Long life and unlimited charge/discharge cycles for the system's life span, while the typical valve regulated lead acid(VLRA) batteries have to be renewed 3 to 6 years. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to. .

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) 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. . As a result, when it's spinning at high speed, it tends to want to keep on spinning (we say it has a lot of angular momentum), which means it can store a great deal of kinetic energy. This innovative technology offers high efficiency and substantial environmental benefits. When excess electricity is available, it is used to accelerate a flywheel to a very high speed.
