Energy Storage: Torus Flywheel energy storage is strongly differentiated from chemical batteries because it is 95 percent recyclable, unaffected by ambient
The basic design of an electric storage flywheel is to attach it to an electric engine and enclose it in a vacuum container to avoid air friction. To store energy, the engine provides motion to the disc/cylinder, increasing the rotational speed of the flywheel; the kinetic energy can later be drawn by the engine to generate electricity, this
A FESS consists of several key components: (1) A rotor/flywheel for storing the kinetic energy. (2) A bearing system to support the rotor/flywheel. (3) A power converter system for charge and discharge, including an electric machine and power electronics. (4) Other auxiliary components.
