Abstract - This study gives a critical review of flywheel energy storage systems and their feasibility in various applications. How does a flywheel energy storage system work?. One such technology is flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs). Compared with other energy storage systems, FESSs offer numerous advantages, including a long lifespan, exceptional efficiency, high power density, and minimal environmental impact. Pumped hydro has the largest deployment so far, but it is limited by geographical locations. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market. .

Why is energy storage important in Mexico?
Renewable energy resources like solar and wind fluctuate, making energy storage systems (ESS) important for balancing supply and demand. In Mexico, which has abundant solar and wind resources, energy storage facilitates the efficient use of generated renewable electricity. It smoothes out the variability and ensures a stable power supply.
How does Mexico's regulatory landscape affect energy storage technology?
Mexico's regulatory landscape plays a significant role in adopting energy storage technologies. The initiatives introduced by the country's Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and the Secretary of Energy (SENER) can potentially drive investment and innovation in energy storage.
Will energy storage systems be integrated into the national electric system?
Earlier in March, Mexico introduced administrative provisions regulating the integration of energy storage systems into the National Electric System. It also revealed that the incorporation of 8,412 MW of energy storage systems is planned for the 2024-2038 fiscal year.
Why is energy storage important?
In an environment where renewable energy procurement and energy efficiency are top priorities, understanding the role of energy storage is vital for energy procurement managers, multinational companies, and sustainability engineers operating within Mexico.
