Flywheel solar container energy storage system Topology
Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) in general have a longer life span than normal batteries, very fast response time, and they can provide high power for a short period of time.

A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum

The flywheel, an old invention, is included in the electrical power generation arrangement to achieve energy storage and power conditioning requirements. A Photovoltaic solar system is used
The system consists of a 40-foot container with 28 flywheel storage units, electronics enclosure, 750 V DC-circuitry, cooling, and a vacuum system. Costs for grid inverter, energy management system,
The city of Fresno in California is running flywheel storage power plants built by Amber Kinetics to store solar energy, which is produced in excess quantity in the daytime, for consumption at night.
Fig. 1 has been produced to illustrate the flywheel energy storage system, including its sub-components and the related technologies. A FESS consists of several key components: (1) A
It is now (since 2013) possible to build a flywheel storage system that loses just 5 percent of the energy stored in it, per day (i.e. the self-discharge rate).
Flywheels can quickly absorb excess solar energy during the day and rapidly discharge it as demand increases. Their fast response time ensures energy can be dispatched as needed,
