The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is a cutting-edge device that stores electrical energy with great efficiency by using a revolving rotor that transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy. Flywheel systems provide some benefits, including cheap maintenance costs, a long lifespan, quick reaction times, and an excellent round-trip efficiency of over 90%. Because of these qualities, FESS has a lot of promise in the energy sector. As a result, the study looked at the system’s architecture, characteristics, and contributions to future improvements. To provide the essential knowledge and understanding about the technologies and applications of FESS, this study gave an informative overview of its structure and components by conducting a literature search and screening to clearly define the structure and components. Amber Kinetics, an industry leader in manufacturing FESS, collaborated on the research, which resulted in a descriptive characterization and interpretation of it in terms of control method, stability enhancement, and future possibilities. The M32 Flywheel is composed of 98% steel. It has a mechanical battery that does not decrease in function, unlike lithium-ion batteries, which are chemically based, prone to fire, and difficult to dispose of. FESS significantly contributes to the existing energy market by consistently storing and preserving energy and augmenting and delivering the power required by consumer requests.
