Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) rely on a mechanical working principle: An electric motor is used to spin a rotor of high inertia up to 20,000-50,000 rpm. Electrical energy is thus converted to kinetic energy for storage. For discharging, the motor acts as a generator, braking the rotor to. . Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of FESSs, we survey different design approaches, choices of subsystems, and the effects on performance, cost, and applications. This is similar to how a potter's wheel or a spinning top holds energy while in motion. Design examples of high-speed AFPM machines a e pro ided and evaluated in terms of specific power, efficiency, and open-circuit losses in order t wind power.
