The most common mechanical energy-storage technologies are pumped-hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), which uses gravitational potential energy; compressed-air energy storage (CAES), which uses the elastic potential energy of pressurized air; and flywheels, which use rotational kinetic energy.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
While many papers compare different ESS technologies, only a few research [152,153] studies design and control flywheel-based hybrid energy storage systems. Recently, Zhang et al. present a hybrid energy storage system based on compressed air energy storage and FESS.
Accepted: 02 March 2024 Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage.
Pumped hydro and compressed air energy storage technologies are mature, cost effective and reliable technologies that are used for large scale storage with frequent cycling capabilities. However, research is still needed to improve their round-trip efficiencies. In PHES systems, advances in turbine design are needed to improve performance.
A flywheel is a mechanical battery that is made up of a spinning mass around an axis. The flywheel works through the principle of storing energy in the form of kinetic rotational energy .
Khodadoost et al. suggest that flywheels are favorable options for integration with wind and PV systems compared to battery energy storage systems since variations in their output power occur in a short period of time.

Estimated cost: approximately ₹20. 5 lakh (₹2,050,000) before subsidies. After applying central subsidies (₹78,000), the net price drops to around ₹19. Subsidy usually does not apply to off-grid. Our analysis, based on implied solar and storage costs from these bids and bottom-up global cost estimates, shows that a solar-plus-storage system can deliver 24/7 clean power at over 95% availability for less than 6 INR/kWh. India's battery energy storage capacity is set for a significant surge. 5 I How many solar power plants are installed in Indian airports?
