Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel.

How to map
Draw the outline 
of the plant and add:
- power=plant
- plant:source=flywheel
- plant:output:electricity=xx MW
- plant:storage=xx MWh
- name=*
- operator=*
