Throughout the process of reviewing the existing FESS applications and integration in the power system, the current research status shows that flywheel energy storage systems have the potential to provide fast and reliable frequency regulation services, which are crucial for maintaining grid stability and ensuring power quality.
Moreover, flywheel energy storage system array (FESA) is a potential and promising alternative to other forms of ESS in power system applications for improving power system efficiency, stability and security . However, control systems of PV-FESS, WT-FESS and FESA are crucial to guarantee the FESS performance.

Flywheel systems are kinetic energy storage devices that react instantly when needed. By accelerating a cylindrical rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy, flywheel energy storage systems can moderate fluctuations in grid demand.
Compared to battery energy storage system, flywheel excels in providing rapid response times, making them highly effective in managing sudden frequency fluctuations, while battery energy storage system, with its ability to store large amounts of energy, offers sustained response, maintaining stability .
