PCS flywheel energy storage

The flywheel energy storage system used in this project consisted of a series of high-speed flywheels connected to a power conversion system (PCS). The PCS was responsible for converting the kinetic energy stored in the flywheels into electrical energy, and vice versa. [pdf]

Flywheel energy storage system absorption

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. 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. .
