Flywheel Energy Storage
Flywheel energy storage is defined as a method for storing electricity in the form of kinetic energy by spinning a flywheel at high speeds, which is facilitated by magnetic levitation in an
Aerodynamic drag and bearing friction are the main sources of standby losses in the flywheel rotor part of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Although these losses are typically small in a well-designed system, the energy losses can become significant due to the continuous operation of the flywheel over time.
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) can recover and store vehicle kinetic energy during deceleration. In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations have been carried out using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique to determine the effects of design parameters on flywheel windage losses and heat transfer characteristics.
