With the growing need for more sustainable and efficient energy storage technologies, flywheel-based energy storage systems, such as Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS), have become increasingly relevant in this context, especially when coupled with bearingless motors. This article presents a review of current flywheel systems coupled to bearingless motors, analyzing their topologies, control strategies, optimization, thermal performance, and emerging applications. In addition, the goal is to identify the most promising technological trends, research opportunities, and the main challenges faced. The results point to the great potential of flywheel systems with bearingless motors in critical applications, smart grids, electric vehicles, aerospace systems, and integration with other technologies in hybrid energy storage architectures.
