Once the loading power lowers than the motor power, motor speed increases and the flywheel is driven by the motor to complete the energy storage of the second cycle. However, the energy storage density of a flywheel is limited by several factors, the slipping rate and overload capacity of an asynchronous motor, for example.
Lead-acid (LA) batteries. LA batteries are the most popular and oldest electrochemical energy storage device (invented in 1859).

A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
