Flywheel energy storage — Welcome to DTU Research Database
Flywheels (the disk) are generally used for three mechanical purposes, all of which are kinds of energy applications, but only one is specifically about energy storage. These are: • In the absence of smooth continuous energy, to provide continuous smooth energy. For example, in reciprocating motors, flywheels are used because the torque
The Status and Future of Flywheel Energy Storage: Joule
Electrical flywheels are kept spinning at a desired state of charge, and a more useful measure of performance is standby power loss, as opposed to rundown time. Standby power loss can be minimized by means of a good bearing system, a low electromagnetic drag MG, and internal vacuum for low aerodynamic drag.

Flywheel energy storage
Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed 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
