The motor is an electromechanical interface used in FESS. As the machine operates as a motor, the energy is transferred, charged, and stored in the FESS. The machine also operates as a generator when the FESS is discharging. FESS use different types of machines as follows.
In practice, due to the limited capacity of single FESS, multiple flywheel energy storage systems are usually combined into a flywheel energy storage matrix system (FESMS) to expand the capacity [9]. In addition, the coupling of flywheels with other energy storage systems can increase the economic efficiency and reduce the utilization …

A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.
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.

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…
Abstract. Energy storage systems (ESSs) play a very important role in recent years. Flywheel is one of the oldest storage energy devices and it has several benefits.
