Low-speed flywheels, with typical operating speeds up to 6000 rev/min, are constructed with steel rotors and conventional bearings. For example, a typical flywheel system with steel rotor developed in the 1980s for wind–diesel applications had energy storage capacity around 2 kW h @ 5000 rev/min, and rated power 45 kW.
Share this post. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are a great way to store and use energy. They work by spinning a wheel really fast to store energy, and then slowing it down to release that energy when needed. FESS are perfect for keeping the power grid steady, providing backup power and supporting renewable energy sources.
