A flywheel is a very simple device, storing energy in rotational momentum which can be operated as an electrical storage by incorporating a direct drive motor-generator (M/G) as shown in Figure 1. The electrical power to and from the M/G is transferred to the grid via inverter power electronics in a similar way to a battery or any other non-synchronous device.
Hopefully this shall be the first of a series on energy storage. Flywheels are very simple mechanisms. If you have a bicycle you can see how it works: lift one of its wheels from the ground and give it an impulse so that it starts spinning. If the wheel hub is in proper condition the wheel keeps on spinning for quite some time.
