Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
Source: Endesa, S.A.U. Another significant project is the installation of a flywheel energy storage system by Red Eléctrica de España (the transmission system operator (TSO) of Spain) in the Mácher 66 kV substation, located in the municipality of Tías on Lanzarote (Canary Islands).
Application areas of flywheel technology will be discussed in this review paper in fields such as electric vehicles, storage systems for solar and wind generation as well as in uninterrupted power supply systems. Keywords - Energy storage systems, Flywheel, Mechanical batteries, Renewable energy. 1. Introduction
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research, studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.

Beacon Power is developing a flywheel energy storage system that costs substantially less than existing flywheel technologies. Flywheels store the energy created by
The flywheel energy storage market size crossed USD 1.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to register at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2034, driven by rising demand for reliable UPS
North America dominated the global flywheel energy storage systems market and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 78.15% in 2024. Batteries dominate the market in
Flywheel systems offer a compelling alternative to traditional battery storage, boasting faster response times, longer lifecycles, and reduced environmental impact.
A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage

North America dominated the global flywheel energy storage systems market and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 78.15% in 2024. The
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.
Key drivers include the rising adoption of renewable energy sources (solar and wind), which often require energy storage solutions to address intermittency issues.
Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of FESSs, we survey different design approaches, choices of subsystems, and the effects on performance, cost, and applications.
The studies were classified as theoretical or experimental and divided into two main categories: stabilization and dynamic energy storage applications. Of the studies
