Primary candidates for large-deployment capable, scalable solutions can be narrowed down to three: Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels. The lithium-ion battery has a high energy density, lower cost per energy capacity but much less power density, and high cost per power. . A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to. . There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. This paper gives a review of the recent developments in FESS technologies. It also presents the diverse applications of FESSs in different scenarios.

A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. FESS is used for short-time storage and typically offered with a charging/discharging duration between 20 seconds and 20 minutes. When excess electricity is available, it is used to accelerate a flywheel to a very high speed. The energy is stored as kinetic energy and can be retrieved by slowing down the flywheel. . High-speed flywheels- made from composite materials like carbon fiber and fiberglas, typically operate at speeds between 20,000 and 60,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) and can store energy for a few seconds to a few minutes. Flywheels can store grid energy up to several tens of megawatts.

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor () and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel. W.

Flywheels can quickly absorb excess solar energy during the day and rapidly discharge it as demand increases. Flywheels excel in short-duration storage applications, typically less than. . Flywheel energy storage can retain energy for extended periods contingent upon numerous variables. However, one 4-hour duration system is available on the market. FESS is typically positioned between ultracapacitor storage (high cycle life but also very high storage. . There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. This paper gives a review of the recent developments in FESS technologies.
