A flywheel system stores energy mechanically in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a mass at high speed. Electrical inputs spin the flywheel rotor and keep it spinning until called upon to release the stored energy. The amount of energy available and its duration is controlled by the mass and speed of the flywheel.

In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity.

Broadly speaking, the flywheel spinning speed ω allows classifying FESSs in two types [7]: low-speed FESSs (< 6000 rpm) and high-speed FESSs (10 4 –10 5 rpm). In order to maximize the energy efficiency low-speed FESSs make use of conventional technologies, whereas high-speed FESSs make use of advanced technologies.
