Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.
The application of flywheel energy storage systems in a rotating system comes with several challenges. As explained earlier, the rotor for such a flywheel should be built from a material with high specific strength in order to attain excellent specific energy .
When the flywheel is weighed up against conventional energy storage systems, it has many advantages, which include high power, availability of output directly in mechanical form, fewer environmental problems, and higher efficiency.
Thanks to the unique advantages such as long life cycles, high power density, minimal environmental impact, and high power quality such as fast response and voltage stability, the flywheel/kinetic energy storage system (FESS) is gaining attention recently.
Flywheels with the main attributes of high energy efficiency, and high power and energy density, compete with other storage technologies in electrical energy storage applications, as well as in transportation, military services, and space satellites .
A compact flywheel energy storage system assisted by hybrid mechanical-magnetic bearings is proposed in . The magnetic levitation in the vertical orientation is maintained by the magnetic bearing, while the translational and rotational levitation is assisted by mechanical bearing.
