Abstract. A flywheel energy storage (FES) system is an electricity storage technology under the category of mechanical energy storage (MES) systems that is most appropriate for small- and medium-scale uses and shorter period applications. In an FES system, the surplus electricity is stored in a high rotational velocity disk-shaped flywheel.
More recent energy storage methods, like electrical ESS, are the goal of Chap. 4. In this chapter, superconducting magnetic and supercapacitor ESS are presented as the best method to directly store electricity.
Mechanical energy storage systems take advantage of kinetic or gravitational forces to store inputted energy. While the physics of mechanical systems are often quite simple (e.g. spin a flywheel or lift weights up a hill), the technologies that enable the efficient and effective use of these forces are particularly advanced.
