Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel energy storage is defined as a method for storing electricity in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a flywheel at high speeds, which is facilitated by magnetic levitation in an evacuated chamber.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) 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 the flywheel. While some systems use low mass/high spee
Magnetically Levitated and Constrained Flywheel Energy Storage
In this work we propose a different kind of fly wheel energy storage system where the motor generator is configured in the form of a LIM and is distributed around a very large circumference.
