Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in

With a weighted score of 4.3, flywheels (with lithium–ion batteries a close second) appear as the most suitable energy storage technology to provide inertia for power systems.
However, excessive cyclic load on the inertia-supplied energy storage systems can be detrimental to their lifetime through attrition; Further, issues such as round-trip efficiency and elevated individual costs remain technical and economic barriers for utility-scale applications.

The inertia response of an energy system limits the rate of change of frequency, known as RoCoF, when a sudden change in load is encountered . Systems such as thermal energy storage and pumped hydroelectric have very little associated inertia and may be thought of as providing slow response energy storage.
Energy storage technologies have emerged as a viable alternative to providing inertia through virtual inertia, i.e. inertia generated or simulated with power electronics and controls (Zhao and Ding, 2018, Zhang et al., 2019, Fang et al., 2017a).
Inertia is an intrinsic property of power systems that stabilizes the grid frequency and introduces a relationship between frequency and the balance of power supply and demand. Previously, synchronous generators and induction motors were directly connected to the power grid and were the main source of inertia (Shi et al., 2019, Lin et al., 2022).
Inertia constants may be expressed as the ratio of stored kinetic energy in a system, rotating at rated speed, to the rated electrical power of the system. Inertia constants have time units and indicate how long it would take for a rotating mass to de-accelerate to stationary if continuously discharged at rated power .
