When energy is required, the motor functions as a generator, because the flywheel transfers rotational energy to it. This is converted back into electrical energy, thus completing the cycle. As the flywheel spins faster, it experiences greater force and thus stores more energy. Flywheels are thus showing immense promise in the field of energy ...

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 …
