This review presents a detailed summary of the latest technologies used in flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). 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 energy to the. . ESSs store intermittent renewable energy to create reliable micro-grids that run continuously and efficiently distribute electricity by balancing the supply and the load [1]. The ex-isting energy storage systems use various technologies, including hydro-electricity, batteries, supercapacitors. . Flywheel energy storage is an exciting solution for efficient and sustainable energy management. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational energy to be then converted into the required power form when required.
