A flywheel energy storage can have energy fed in the rotational mass of a flywheel, store it as kinetic energy, and release out upon demand. They work by spinning up a heavy disk or rotor to high speeds and then tapping that rotational energy to discharge high power bursts of electricity. It is difficult to use flywheels to store energy for longer duration. The …
Environmental concerns are also driving research into flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). Flywheels are often large and heavy because they are able to store more energy that way. On the other hand, smaller and lighter wheels are also used in many situations because they can spin much faster and thus much more kinetic energy is generated this way.
The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to (Equation 1) E = 1 2 I ω 2 [J], where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s]. In order to facilitate storage and extraction of electrical energy, the rotor …
