A Review on Flywheel Energy Storage System in Microgrid
We''ll learn how to build a small flywheel energy storage device which can store energy in a form of kinetic energy and afterwards convert it back to electrical power as needed. If passive
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to produce electricity.
The operation of the electricity network has grown more complex due to the increased adoption of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power. Using energy storage technology can improve the stability and quality of the power grid. One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs).
Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.

While several reviews have analyzed the application of flywheels in energy storage, they exhibit limitations in key areas, particularly in identifying critical application scenarios, such as their role in microgrids and isolated systems, and in providing a comprehensive techno-economic assessment based on real-world implementations.
