Understanding Flywheel energy storage
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) 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.
A typical system consists of a flywheel supported byconnected to a . The flywheel and sometimes.
GeneralCompared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no.
Flywheels are not as adversely affected by temperature changes, can operate at a much wider temperature range, and are not subject to many of the common failures of chemical .They are also less potentially damaging to the environment, being largely made of
