The amount of energy stored, E, is proportional to the mass of the flywheel and to the square of its angular velocity is calculated by means of the equation (1) E = 1 2 I ω 2 where I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel and ω is the angular velocity. The maximum stored energy is ultimately limited by the tensile strength of the flywheel material.
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. The energy is converted back by slowing down the flywheel. Most FES systems use electricity to accelerate and decelerate the flywheel, but devices that directly use mechanical energy …

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 th…

Energy storage flywheel systems are mechanical devices that typically utilize an electrical machine (motor/generator unit) to convert electrical energy in mechanical energy and vice versa. Energy is stored in a fast-rotating mass known as the flywheel rotor. The rotor is subject to high centripetal forces requiring careful design, analysis, and fabrication to …

The anatomy of a flywheel energy storage device. Image used courtesy of Sino Voltaics . A major benefit of a flywheel as opposed to a conventional battery is that their expected service life is not dependent on the number of charging cycles or age. The more one charges and discharges the device in a standard battery, the more it degrades.

Flywheel Systems for Utility Scale Energy Storage
where m is the total mass of the flywheel rotor. Generally, the larger the energy density of a flywheel, the more the energy stored per unit mass. In other words, one can make full use of material to design a flywheel with high energy storage and low total mass. Eq. indicates that the energy density of a flywheel rotor is determined by the …

This review presents a detailed summary of the latest technologies used in flywheel energy storage systems (FESS).
Flywheel energy storage (FES) can have energy fed in the rotational mass of a flywheel, store it as kinetic energy, and release out upon demand. The first real breakthrough of FES was the seminal book by Dr. A. Stodola in which flywheel rotor shapes and rotational stress were analyzed [7] .
