Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10, up to 10, cycles of use), high specific energy (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The energy efficiency (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as round-trip efficiency, can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 kWh to 13…

A review of flywheel energy storage systems
However, being one of the oldest ESS, the flywheel ESS (FESS) has acquired the tendency to raise itself among others being eco-friendly and …
A second class of distinction is the means by which energy is transmitted to and from the flywheel rotor. In a FESS, this is more commonly done by means of an electrical machine directly coupled to the flywheel rotor. This configuration, shown in Fig. 11.1, is particularly attractive due to its simplicity if electrical energy storage is needed.

In any case—with or without central bore—the density of the rotor material is included linearly in the calculation of the tangential stresses of the flywheel. Sect. 2.2.1 has shown that the energy content increases linearly with the mass moment of inertia of the rotor, but is proportional to the square of its speed. ...
