Recent deployments in the Netherlands and the U.S. have demonstrated that flywheel-battery hybrids extend battery life by handling rapid cycling duty, highlighting the
A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid 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. Unlike common storage power plants, such as the
Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to batteries, particularly in applications that require rapid response times
Solar systems have been the preferred backup system to use. However, the high cost of purchase and maintenance of solar batteries has been a major hindrance. Flywheel energy storage

This mismatch between supply and demand necessitates effective energy storage solutions. While batteries have been the traditional method, flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are emerging as an innovative and potentially superior alternative, particularly in applications like time-shifting solar power.
Flywheel energy storage is mostly used in hybrid systems that complement solar and wind energy by enhancing their stability and balancing the grid frequency because of their quicker response times or with high-energy density storage solutions like Li-ion batteries .
VYCON’s VDC® flywheel energy storage solutions significantly improve critical system uptime and eliminates the environmental hazards, costs and continual maintenance associated with lead-acid based batteries
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.
