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.

Advanced FESS operate at a rotational frequency in excess of 100,000 RPM with tip speeds in excess of 1000 m/s. FESS are best used for high power, low energy applications that require many cycles.

Energy Storage: The flywheel continues to spin at high speed, maintaining energy as long as friction and resistance are minimized. The longer it spins, the more energy it holds, similar to how the skater
