Application of flywheel energy storage for heavy haul locomotives
These are 16,000 rpm flywheels and the implied energy density is only 9.6 W h/kg. The flywheels have integral driving motors and inverters housed in a cylindrical cage approximately 1.06 m in diameter and 2.08 m high. In this application, 20 units are employed with aggregated ratings of 2 MW and 500 kW h.

Talk:Flywheel energy storage
In any case, doubling the mass of a flywheel doubles the energy stored but doubling the rotational speed or the radius of the flywheel quadruples the energy stored. Hence the speed/radius has a much bigger effect on energy stored than mass does. And maximum speed/radius is absolutely dependent on tensile strength.

Electricity Storage Technology Review
Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today. Of the remaining 4% of capacity, the largest technology shares are molten salt (33%) and lithium-ion batteries (25%). Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market.
Flywheel UPS Technology | POWERTHRU | Clean Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel systems store energy kinetically rather than chemically. Instead of dozens of 100-pound containers of lead plates submerged in sulfuric acid, flywheels use the inertia of a spinning mass to store and regenerate power. Click image for detailed view. First generation flywheels, still sold today, were introduced in the mid-''90s.

How Energy Storage Works | Union of Concerned Scientists
Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Storage devices can save energy in many forms (e.g., chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Although almost all current energy storage capacity is in the form of pumped hydro and the
