Abstract. A flywheel energy storage (FES) system is an electricity storage technology under the category of mechanical energy storage (MES) systems that is most appropriate for small- and medium-scale uses and shorter period applications. In an FES system, the surplus electricity is stored in a high rotational velocity disk-shaped flywheel.

Mechanical energy storage
Pumped storage stores electricity in the form of potential energy. The basic principle of energy conversion is shown in Fig. 1. In pump mode (charging), electrical energy is taken from the electrical grid to feed a motor that mechanically drives a pump. The water is pumped from the lower basin into the upper basin.
