A flywheel is supported by a rolling-element bearing and is coupled to a motor-generator in a typical arrangement. To reduce friction and energy waste, the flywheel and sometimes the motor–generator are encased in a vacuum chamber. A massive steel flywheel rotates on mechanical bearings in first-generation flywheel energy storage
Electric Flywheel Basics. The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to. E = 1 2 I ω 2 [ J], (Equation 1) where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2 ], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s].
(1) E F W = 1 2 J ω 2 Where, E FW is the stored energy in the flywheel and J and ω are moment of inertia and angular velocity of rotor, respectively. As it can be seen in (1), in order to increase stored energy of flywheel, two solutions exist: increasing in flywheel speed or its inertia.The moment of the inertia depends on shape and mass of
