The answer lies in upfront costs. Current flywheel installations average $1,100-$1,500 per kW compared to $700-$900/kW for lithium batteries [1] [10]. However, when considering total lifecycle value, the picture changes dramatically. The cost of a flywheel energy storage system varies based on several factors, including size, design, and installation requirements. Finally, application area of FES technology is presented including energy storage and attitude control in satellite, high-power uninterrupted power supply (UPS, electric vehicle (EV), power quality problem. Pumped Hydro Storages (PHSs) are the most cost-effective ESSs with a. . FESS is typically positioned between ultracapacitor storage (high cycle life but also very high storage cost) and battery storage, (low storage cost but limited cycle life). This article presents a cost-benefit analysis of FES, highlighting its advantages. .
