Abstract:Energy storage is becoming increasingly important with the rising need to accommodate the energy needs of a greater population. Energy storage is especially important with intermittent sources such as solar and wind. Flywheel energy storage systems store kinetic energy by constantly spinning a compact rotor in a low-friction environment. When short-term back-up power is required as a result of utility power loss or fluctuations, the rotor’s inertia allows it to continue spinning and the resulting kinetic energ… Show more
“…It is more compact since many system components like bearings and M/G can be integrated inside the rotor. A shell flywheel also requires specialized MB and MG since it has no shaft [88,20].…”

“…Researchers have sought different means to reduce the system component and make FESSs more compact. Kailasan et al [88] give the design for a 1 kWh inside-out integrated FESS. The rotor is shell-like and made of steel/composite materials.…”
