Flywheel energy storage (FES) devices, which generally operate in a vacuum, store energy as kinetic energy in a high-speed rotor coupled to either a motor or generator (Brown & Chvala, 2009). Flywheels, as seen in Fig. 1.5, are composed of a rotating mass that is propelled by a motor, and when demand for energy increases, the …
This is defined in Eq. (1), where the total energy transferred into ( Ein) or out of ( Eout) the system must equal to the change in total energy of the system (Δ Esystem) during a process. This indicates that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. (1) E in − E out = Δ E system.
