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 energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th

A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.

Flywheel for energy storage in ISS was first discussed in 1961 and Integrated Power and Attitude Control Systems (IPACS) for satellites were first proposed in the 1970s [8]. In the mid-1990s there was renewed interest in flywheel energy storage and IPACS concepts [7], based on advances in magnetic bearings and high-strength
