A FESS is an electromechanical system that stores energy in form of kinetic energy. A mass rotates on two magnetic bearings in order to decrease friction at high speed, coupled with an electric machine. The entire structure is placed in a vacuum to reduce wind shear [118], [97], [47], [119], [234].
