This high-speed FESS stores 2.8 kWh energy, and can keep a 100-W light on for 24 hours. Some FESS design considerations such as cooling system, vacuum pump, and housing will be simplified since the ISS is situated in a vacuum space. In addition to storing energy, the flywheel in the ISS can be used in navigation.

These are: • In the absence of smooth continuous energy, to provide continuous smooth energy. For example, in reciprocating motors, flywheels are used because the torque produced by the motor is discontinuous. • A flywheel is used to store energy and then release it. In some cases, energy is released at a speed that the energy source cannot.

Flywheel energy storage
A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.
