A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by rolling-element bearing connected to a motor–generator. The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a vacuum chamber to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a hi
Flywheel energy storage systems offer a durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to batteries, particularly in applications that require rapid response times and short-duration storage.
