Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is fly-wheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
The energy losses reduce the efficiency of the system and cause heating of storage elements. To reduce resistance to rotation, the flywheel and drive of the flywheel storage work in a vacuum, there is why heat dissipation from structural elements is difficult. Control principles influence a lot the amount of losses in the SRM.
