Energy storage in flywheels. A flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass. Depending on the inertia and speed of the rotating mass, a given amount of kinetic energy is stored as rotational energy. The flywheel is placed inside a vacuum containment to eliminate friction-loss from the air and suspended by bearings for a stabile operation.

Vacuum ensures efficiency. To ensure the efficiency of a flywheel as an energy storage device, the constant losses through friction have to be reduced to a minimum. To do so, the flywheel housing is evacuated with vacuum pumps. Typical targeted pressures are 1·10-1 hPa down to 1·10-3 hPa or even less. As a result, both heat
Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) use electric energy input which is stored in the form of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be described as "energy of motion," in this case the motion of a spinning mass, called a rotor. The rotor spins in a nearly frictionless enclosure. When short-term backup power is required because utility power
Flywheels, one of the earliest forms of energy storage, could play a significant role in the transformation of the electrical power system into one that is fully sustainable yet low cost.
Low-speed flywheels, with typical operating speeds up to 6000 rev/min, are constructed with steel rotors and conventional bearings. For example, a typical flywheel system with steel rotor developed in the 1980s for wind–diesel applications had energy storage capacity around 2 kW h @ 5000 rev/min, and rated power 45 kW.
