Revterra stores energy in the motion of a flywheel. Electric energy is converted into kinetic energy by a spinning rotor. When needed, that kinetic energy is converted back to electricity. Revterra''s innovative approach leverages passively stable magnetic bearings and low-cost steel alloys to improve efficiency and reduce cost.

Compared with other ways to store electricity, FES systems have long lifetimes (lasting decades with little or no maintenance; full-cycle lifetimes quoted for flywheels range from in excess of 10, up to 10, cycles of use), high specific energy (100–130 W·h/kg, or 360–500 kJ/kg), and large maximum power output. The energy efficiency (ratio of energy out per energy in) of flywheels, also known as round-trip efficiency, can be as high as 90%. Typical capacities range from 3 kWh to 13…

Abstract: This article presents an integrated optimal energy management strategy (EMS) and sizing of a high-speed flywheel energy storage system (FESS) in a battery electric vehicle. The methodology aims at extending the battery cycle life and drive range by relegating fast dynamics of the power demand to the FESS.
A flywheel is a rotating disk used as a storage device for kinetic energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when a fluctuating torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based engine, or when the load placed on it is intermittent. Flywheels can be used to produce ...
