Electric Flywheel Basics. The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to (Equation 1) E = 1 2 I ω 2 [ J], where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2 ], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s].

An additional limitation for some flywheel types is energy storage time. Flywheel energy storage systems using mechanical bearings can lose 20% to 50% of their energy in 2 hours.[27] Much of the friction responsible for this energy loss results from the flywheel changing orientation due to the rotation of the earth (a concept similar to a …

Flywheel energy storage works by storing kinetic energy in a rotating mass. A flywheel system consists of a heavy rotating mass connected to a high-speed motor or generator. The flywheel is designed to rotate at high speed, and when electricity is supplied to the motor, the flywheel starts to spin, storing kinetic energy.
