A flywheel is a simple form of mechanical (kinetic) energy storage. Energy is stored by causing a disk or rotor to spin on its axis. . Flywheel energy storage technologies provide reliable backup power with many attractive features compared with conventional battery technologies. 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. . Flywheel energy storage is an exciting solution for efficient and sustainable energy management.
