A typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction and energy loss. First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use composite This flywheel, when paired to a motor/generator unit, behaves like a battery and energy can be stored for hours and dispatched on demand. The system service life is 20 years, without limits to depth of discharge, charge cycles, or sensitivity to temperature extremes, using recyclable materials. [pdf]

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor (flywheel) to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the. Main componentsA typical system consists of a flywheel supported by connected to a . The flywheel and sometimes motor–generator may be enclosed in a to reduce friction an. . 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. . In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as , were used in () and () and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a great. [pdf]
