This article comprehensively reviews the key components of FESSs, including flywheel rotors, motor types, bearing support technologies, and power electronic converter technologies. . There is noticeable progress in FESS, especially in utility, large-scale deployment for the electrical grid, and renewable energy applications. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to. . he technology and recent developments are reviewed, firstly with an emphasis on the design considerations and performance metrics. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational. .
