A 1,000kg, 5m, 200RPM flywheel would store 685,567J of energy if it was shaped like a disc. That''s 0.19kWh of energy — enough to boil the water for about seven (7) cups of tea or run a typical airconditioner for about 10 minutes. I think you might be over-estimating how much energy these things can store. – Tim.

Flywheel energy storage system is a popular energy storage technology, in which inverters are the center of electrical energy conversion, directly affecting the power capacity. Parallel operation of three-level inverters is an effective approach to achieve larger motor drive power and the interleaved operation can improve the harmonic characteristics.
Flywheel (named mechanical battery [10]) might be used as the most popular energy storage system and the oldest one [11]. Flywheel (FW) saves the kinetic energy in a high-speed rotational disk connected to the shaft of an electric machine and regenerates the stored energy in the network when it is necessary [12].

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…
