The primary types include mechanical flywheels, magnetic bearings, and composite flywheel systems, which each utilize distinct technologies to optimize energy retention and discharge. . 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. . However, wind and solar power's intermittent nature prevents them from be-ing independent and reliable energy sources for micro-grids. Energy storage systems (ESS) play an essential role in providing continu-ous and high-quality power. When excess electricity is available, it is used to accelerate a flywheel to a very high speed.
