Electric Flywheel Basics. The core element of a flywheel consists of a rotating mass, typically axisymmetric, which stores rotary kinetic energy E according to (Equation 1) E = 1 2 I ω 2 [ J], where E is the stored kinetic energy, I is the flywheel moment of inertia [kgm 2 ], and ω is the angular speed [rad/s].
From ( 6) we can see that the energy density of the flywheel rotor of constant thickness is determined by rotational speed ω, outer radius R, and inner radius r. For the flywheel with constant thickness rotor, we can get the stored energy density e = 5854 J/kg for the flywheel with the parameters given in Table 1.
