As part of climate mitigation measures and an energy transformation, Uruguay has converted over 98% of its electrical grid to sustainable energy sources (primarily solar, wind, and hydro). are primarily imported into Uruguay for transportation, industrial uses and applicat.
[pdf] Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor () to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as . When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of ; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of th.
