Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are pivotal in the global shift towards sustainable energy. As BESS adoption accelerates, stakeholders are placing. .
These flywheels are made from high-strength carbon-fiber composites, designed to minimize energy loss and maximize mechanical efficiency. Magnetic bearings reduce friction, while high-temperature superconductors enhance energy capacities. . Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) 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 energy to the. . Energy storage systems (ESS) play an essential role in providing continu-ous and high-quality power. 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. .
