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…
Energy loss is a crucial problem for all energy storage approaches, except fuel. The charging/discharging process warms a battery. This heat energy is an energy loss for the battery. Similarly, pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations convert about one quarter of their electrical input into unwanted heat energy.

This high-speed FESS stores 2.8 kWh energy, and can keep a 100-W light on for 24 hours. Some FESS design considerations such as cooling system, vacuum pump, and housing will be simplified since the ISS is situated in a vacuum space. In addition to storing energy, the flywheel in the ISS can be used in navigation.
