A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors
Flywheel energy storage systems have gained increased popularity as a method of environmentally friendly energy storage. Fly wheels store energy in mechanical rotational
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher
FESS technology originates from aerospace technology. Its working principle is based on the use of electricity as the driving force to drive the flywheel to rotate at a high
