Flywheel energy storage is an energy storage technology with high power density, high reliability, long life, and environmental friendliness. It is characterized by full magnetic levitation, low energy consumption, fast response, long life, high number of charge and discharge. . 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. In an era where the demand for efficient, green, and sustainable power storage options is rapidly increasing, FES systems offer significant promise due to their unique mechanism and. .
